Hi I am totally new to FreeBSD. I am normally using MacOS and Windows, and have also some experience with Linux on Embedded devices. I had expected the img to be similar to an installed Ubuntu, but it did not even have X installed. During the installation of the xorg and laer firefox I came...

Motivations The main reason to put a browser in a jail is quite simple : browsers cannot be trusted. They are too much exposed. Executing a browser inside a jail is a way to be sure that the damages induced by a malicious software are contained (as much as possible). I decided to write this...

I'm trying to install a web browser in a jail (something like this guy did with Linux containers: https://www.stgraber.org/2014/02/09/lxc-1-0-gui-in-containers/ ). I've successfully created the jail and installed Xorg and Firefox with iocage. Now I can't start Firefox, either with iocage exec...
