Cast Save & Share Make Desktop Shortcut to Telstra WebMail

I have put a shortcut on my desktop to Telstra webmail.
But when I try to run it I get some message saying something about Flatseal and Permissions.
I have installed Flatseal, but the number of settings there is mindblowing.
I am using Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon.

Hello,

I was trying to replicate your issue. Here are some assumptions I did as they are some of your environmental settings are not clear from your post:

  • since you mentioned flatseal I assume you have a custom web browser installed with flatpak
  • browser firefox

Here is the desktop config file ~/Desktop/MyWebmail.desktop I have used for the test explicitly running firefox with flatpak:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Telstra Webmail
Comment=Open  Webmail
Exec=flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox https://mywebmail-example.com
Icon=firefox
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;

Made it executable:
$ chmod +x ~/Desktop/MyWebmail.desktop

Worked for me no problem. Try this. If the issue persist run the flatseal and give your browser permission as sandbox ( flatpak ) does not have the necessary permissions to launch the browser. Something like:
