I am trying to open .html files located on my hard drive, but Firefox gives the error:

File not found

Firefox can’t find the file at /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/en/gimp-pimping.html. 

   Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
   Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

I can see the files at this location and even when I directly open the files from that location by double clicking them, I get this error. I have seen on Ubuntu forums that this might be a problem with the actual Firefox snap, any official help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
