I've seen the same prompt when the Pale Moon launcher, the Firefox ESR launcher and the SeaMonkey launcher icons were placed on the Desktop in both linux Mint and linux SolydX on my computers.
It seems this is by design from the linux distro developers. Once you click on "Mark Executable", the prompt never appears anymore.
It seems the developers of linux distros prefer their browser launcher icons to be launched from a menu entry under Internet or being launched from the Panel Taskbar and not from the Desktop.
If the menu entry for the browser is listed under Internet, then you can drag the launcher icon for any browser to the Panel Taskbar. This is it worked for me in both Mint and SolydX.
