I'm also trying to open a local HTML file in firefox by double clicking
it in the file manager. Firefox says the file is not found.

I can then use Firefox "open file" dialog to browse to my home directory
and open the file. BUT, the heml file contains links to images that are
in another sub-folder, which firefox-snap can't find.

Result: Cant use Firefox to check on some html files that I created.
This is not good.

Using Firefox Snap 137.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Title:
  Firefox and Chromium snaps preventing apps and devices from working
  correctly.

Status in Chromium Browser:
  New
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  New
Status in snapd:
  New
Status in r-cran-plotly package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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)

  Other things not working:

  * WebUSB (Used in Chromium for securely interacting with USB devices, installing and updating Android devices, etc)
  * USBMidi (Used in Chromium and Firefox for using Midi instruments)
