Public bug reported:

Hello,

In a pdf (created with Libre Office, URL checked and working), when I
try to open a URL (including the one in "About Evince" to the Website),
it doesn't work and the following message appears :

Failed to launch preferred application for category WebBrowser. Failed
to execute child process "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo-1/exo-
helper-2" (Permission denied)

I reported this bug to Evince
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/1539#note_999642) and
someone told me :

"The issue you describe is likely a constraint defined at the system level, for 
example, using AppArmor.
The issue should be reported to the distribution."

Xubuntu 20.04, evince 3.36.7

Have a nice day and thanks for your amazing job !
