I just tried to reproduce your problem, but for me running calibre with
evince as PDF viewer is working fine.
Can you please try to run a newer firejail version?
E.g. 0.9.64.4-1~bpo10+1 from the oldstable backports, or if you are
meanwhile running stable 0.9.70-2~bpo11+1 from the stable backports?

I think Evince doesn't support this in general. Also when running Evince
without Calibre and outside of firejail, it does not save the last page.
Or am I missing some setting to turn that on?

Kind regards,
  Reiner
