Hello?
I want to input cjk in firejail firefox.
But this way firejail firefox won't run.
What am I doing wrong?

Fix: ignore nodbus for firejail < 0.9.64. For firejail >= 0.9.64 look at the FAQ.

Original post:

sudo gedit /etc/firejail/firefox.profile

OT: Use gedit admin:https:///path/to/file

~$ sudo gedit /etc/firejail/firefox.profile

dbus-user filter
dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.portal.Fcitx
ignore dbus-user none

Two mistakes here:

1. It needs to be firefox.local and not firefox.profile.
   General: Never edit /etc/firejail/*.profile files because. Either copy them to ~/.config/firejail or (the preferred way) use *.locals.
2. These three lines are for profiles with dbus-user none, but firefox.profile uses dbus-user filter. Therefore you only need the dbus-user.talk line.

How can I enable fcitx?

Depending on the dbus-policy of the profile you need to add different command to its local. If the dbus-policy is set to filter, it is enough to add dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.portal.Fcitx. If it is set to none, you need to add

dbus-user filter
dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.portal.Fcitx
ignore dbus-user none

Sum up: Try this:

$ mkdir -p ~/.config/firejail
$ cat >> ~/.config/firejail/firefox.local <<EOF
dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.portal.Fcitx
EOF

(or change ~/.config/firejail to /etc/firejail and use a root shell)

~/.config/firejail/firefox.local
OR /etc/firejail/firefox.local

Hi?
thanks.
And sorry!
I did what you told me but it doesn't work

And,
If I delete the firefox.local file, firejail firefox will run.

org.freedesktop.[portal] ::: There is no portal directory in dconf-editor's org - freedesktop.

~/.config/firejail/firefox.local OR /etc/firejail/firefox.local

Does not matter. One is system-wide and requires root, the other not.

org.freedesktop.[portal] ::: There is no portal directory in dconf-editor's org - freedesktop.

dbus != dconf
You can use tools like d-feet, qdbusviewer, bustle, dbus-monitor, dbus-send, gdbus, qdbus, busctl to inspect D-Bus.

Error: line 1 in /etc/firejail/firefox.local is invalid

Guess your firejail is to old. "Fine-grained D-Bus sandboxing" was added in firejail 0.9.64. You can either try to install a newer version (e.g. backports if you use debian) or allow D-Bus entirely (with all it's consequences) using ignore nodbus.
