Title:
  Firefox snap won't open files in /tmp or ~/.cache -- affects many apps

Status in Chromium Browser:

Status in Mozilla Firefox:

Status in snapd:

Bug description:
  Many apps put files in /tmp or ~/.cache to then open those files with
  other apps. Files won't open from those locations with the Firefox
  snap. Just within a few days of using, I've found quite a few apps
  that don't work as they should or seem broken as a result.

  * Any archive manager (xarchive uses /tmp, file-roller and engrampa use ~/.cache, peazip uses ~/.ptmp)
  * Catfish (uses /tmp also for opening files in archives)
  * fish (fish_config uses an html file in /tmp and uses a browser for configuration)
