For better usability for beginners there is a graphical frontend called
'firetools' available.

The upcoming upstream release of firejail (0.9.40) will also include
a helper tool called firecfg. This will create the symlinks for you
in /usr/local/bin (which comes by default before /usr/bin and /bin in PATH),
and are also not touched by package management.
I think this is a simple and usable way to let your programs start with
firejail.

Would this be also an acceptable solution for you?

Kind regards,
