jails Run firefox within a Linux chroot jail in FreeBSD 13.1

[Schroter]

Hi All,
I have managed to install a Ubuntu chroot jail within FreeBSD 13.1. However, I need to run Firefox from it to launch Jupyter Lab from a python virtual environment within the chroot subsystem. I was wondering if I could use the FreeBSD Firefox from the subsystem. Nevertheless, I installed Firefox on the chroot subsystem and when tried to run it I gen an error as below.

(newEnv) schroter1@SCHROTER:~$ firefox
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Broadway display type not supported: unix:0.0
Error: cannot open display: unix:0.0

Would anyone be able to help me in this regards.
Thanks & Best Regards
Schroter Michael

not being technical on subject but i wonder why such complication needed, i.e, why is jailed ubuntu, firefox and jupyter required instead native firefox on freebsd?

I would hazard a guess it's for things like Netflix, which isn't available natively as the required Wildvine DRM doesn't work/isn't available on FreeBSD.

Check this thread, it's for Chrome but I guess the same should work for Firefox: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/running-google-chrome-in-a-dedicated-linux-jail.85491/
