Public bug reported:

I installed chordpro 6.050.7-2 in Ubuntu 24.10 using this command:

     sudo apt install chordpro

I opened chordpro, and I clicked on the menu File, then Preview. Firefox
is launched to open the generated PDF file with a file name like
`file:///tmp/s32zRaPAQq.pdf` . However, I see this error:


> File not found
>
> Firefox can’t find the file at /tmp/s32zRaPAQq.pdf.
>
>     Check the file name for capitalisation or other typing errors.
>     Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

If I run `evince /tmp/s32zRaPAQq.pdf` on the command line, then the
Evince app will find this PDF file and load it.

I think Firefox is failing to find this PDF file, because of Snap's
sandbox restrictions.

Either Snap Firefox needs to be changed to be able to open files under
/tmp/, or chordpro needs to be changed to not use Snap Firefox to open a
PDF file.
