SUMMARY

Installing applications through epiphany browser and running them from krunner
or Application Dashboard leads to a failed launch due to being "not authorized
to execute this file."

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Epiphany Browser
2. Navigate to website
3. Open Hamburger Menu/Popover Menu at the top right.
4. Click "Install Site as Web Application..."
5. Run the new application through krunner or Application Dashboard.

OBSERVED RESULT

Receive error notification stating: "Launching DuckDuckGo (Failed) | You are
not authorized to execute this file." (replace DuckDuckGo with the name of the
site used.)


EXPECTED RESULT

Webapp to launch through epiphany browser.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Distro: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

Epiphany Browser Version: 40.0


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I do not know under what program this would be classified as, so I am posting
it here.

running `sudo chmod +x
~/.local/share/applications/org.gnome.Epiphany.WebApp-duckduckgo-96626ae2c8748ce47d19e235e6dcc811d4279748.desktop`
makes the application start properly from krunner or Application Dashboard.

Initially I reported this bug to epiphany browser's git issues and was
suggested to report it to the kde devs. Here is the link to the issue:
