Not seeing that on wily desktop, but I think I know what’s going on: on xenial webbrowser-app is running confined by apparmor, and by default access to the file system is denied. We should probably deny that conditionally (it makes sense when using the content hub transfer capabilities, but it doesn’t on desktop with a traditional filepicker approach).
