AppImageLauncher could be used to manage different permissions if Firejail is installed, similar to what Snappy does:

Seems like a good idea. Perhaps the Firejail folks want to collaborate on something like this?

I already mentioned in a few places that I imagine this to be like on Android, i.e., before you run an app AIL asks you what permissions you want to grant (eventually there shall be a standard so AppImages can tell which permissions they need, and which of them are required, so we can prevent execution before people get confused why an app crashes or certain features produce problems.
