I am using guix environment --container to isolate some programs that are prone to leak information. guix environment --container works well in freerdp and other programs until I use guix environment --container to containerize icecat,

Steps to reproduce:

guix environmnt --container (...some options...) --ad-hoc icecat

Select the address bar and write:'file://' and then access, icecat can still access the content outside the container.

Please forgive me for some inappropriate words. My English is not very good.
