Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

See error Mounting appimage type 1 Error mounting appimage: appimage.c:117 appimage_set: Invalid argument

Environment

Distributor ID: Ubuntu; Description: Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS; Release: 20.04; Codename: focal; kernel: 5.4 and 5.6
Firejail version (github build 0.9.65)

Additional context
appimaged

Checklist

[*] The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
[?] The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
[*] I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
[-] If it is a AppImage, --profile=PROFILENAME is used to set the right profile.
[*] Used LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PROGRAM to get english error-messages.
[*] I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.

I downloaded the latest stable Kotatogram AppImage to try to reproduce. Although I didn't actually use it for messaging, the app starts fine here (running Arch Linux/ firejail from git) when using --noprofile and even with a basic redirect to our telegram.profile (see below). Are you using the same appimage? If not, please provide a link so we can make sure we're on the same page.

$ firejail --env=DESKTOPINTEGRATION=appimaged --noprofile --appimage ./Kotatogram.appimage

Is this the actual file name? Usually this is application.AppImage instead of the lower-case version you seem to have. Just trying to rule out some potentially confusing stuff with this additional question.

$ cat ${HOME}/.config/firejail/Kotatogram.profile

# Firejail profile for Kotatogram
# This file is overwritten after every install/update
# Persistent local customizations
include Kotatogram.local
# Persistent global definitions
# added by included profile
#include globals.local

blacklist ${HOME}/.TelegramDesktop
blacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/TelegramDesktop
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/KotatogramDesktop

# Redirect
include telegram.profile

Thnx fo test.
I just downloaded latest beta Kotatogram 1.3.9 and it starts in firejail ok. Previous version i tested was 1.3.3, so looks like it was bad.
