Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2807

While trying to run appimage the order in which options are processed actually have an impact on the way appimage is executed:

firejail --private=~/tmp/test --net=none --appimage ~/.local/img
will execute an appimage as expected.

firejail --private=~/tmp/test --appimage ~/.local/img --net=none
Will fail because the last option is given to appimage as-is instead of being processed by firejail itself.

This is highly counter-intuitive and should be at the very least documented in https://firejail.wordpress.com/documentation-2/appimage-support/ or, better yet, fixed so only the options after explicit mark (or options unsupported by firejail) are given to appimage.
