Click on that file from within FireFox, and it opens Gnome Software which gives me the option to install. I click install. It counts up from 0% to 84% and then the status bar turns back into an Install button. There's no error message.
Curious.
I'm not expecting these to be user installed but rather system installed.
As am I:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.software install-bundles-system-wide true
Back in Gnome Software, click on the Install button and it does nothing, no error message.
Okay, so lets work out what's going wrong. What I suspect is happening is that we're "falling back" to the per-user install because there's something wrong lower in the stack, e.g. your user could not authenticate or something to do with polkit. For both issues, if you can get a full log of:
killall gnome-software gnome-software --verbose
..then we can figure out what's going on. Thanks.
Attached the log to this bug report. Installing gnome twitch in this example did not fail as did the libreoffice installation, but it does user install it instead of system install. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438528
While work out the above, I stumbled into this bug. If I double click the same *.flatpakref file gnome-software offers an Install button to install it again, rather than having Launch / Remove buttons. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438531
