Note that as discussed in the other recent thread, Flatpak doesn't allow 
this call by default: it's only allowed because the org.mozilla.firefox 
app has it as an explicitly-added static permission.

But it's probably possible to reach a similar o.fd.FileManager1 call 
from sandboxed code indirectly, by asking the OpenURI portal to open a 
directory, which will try to dispatch it to a file manager.
