[Bug 1972762] Re: Firefox snap won't open files in /tmp or ~/.cache -- affects many apps
I ran into this problem when Jupyter Lab failed to start, because it
creates a temporary HTML file in $HOME/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/,
and then opens it with the default web browser with "Access to the file
was denied" error. It is weird that I can't even disable this
"protection", not even telling that I don't see the need to protect
hidden files in $HOME that much more than regular ones. Those that are
really sensitive should be protected by access rights anyway.

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

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)
