Unable to start browser and refusing to start browser errors

retr00h | Last updated: Aug 08, 2021 02:11PM UTC

I just installed burpsuite through the Arch's user repository and when I try to open the browser in the proxy tab I get this "net.portswigger.devtools.client.an: unable to start browser" if I'm running burpsuite as non-root. If I run it as root I get a "net.portswigger.devtools.client.an: refusing to start browser as your current configuration does not support running without sandbox". How could I get this feature running? Thanks in advance
