I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 which is using the snap package of Firefox.

It seems that I cannot open local files in the /tmp directory. When I place a test.html file there and run `firefox /tmp/test.html`, it returns a file not found error. Why?

I don't have the problem with files in my home directory.

Just for kicks... Try downloading another copy of Firefox, run it from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

There might be sandbox restraints with the snap version, so you can try Firefox from the Mozilla server like posted above to see if that works better.

Thanks. All problems gone, I can load local files again, the open file dialog does not crash Firefox anymore, downloads go where they should, startup is again at 1 seconds instead of around 15 s … feels like Firefox again and not like crap. Thanks!

and a shortcut to the current best available solution: remove the snap and install the mozilla debs:
