For firefox, see /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/firefox. Anyway, disabling unveil is a bad idea, especially for a program like a web browser that reads and executes random code downloaded from the network. Probably, adjusting /etc/firefox/unveil.main to add things like ~/Document is enough for your use-case. HTH Omar Polo,
