Created attachment 9276133 File pickers comparison 1 I've spun up a fresh 22.04 install in a VM, then run the snap version of ff 100 (on the right) and ff 100 from linux binaries (on the left). The file picker is different between the two versions; the binaries version shows fewer network share aliases, and this binaries version can successfully read and write to network shares.
The snap version's file picker shows aliases for network shares (and a printer) and will navigate into those folders and show files, but when a file is chosen to open, ff does not read the file and does not display an error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971168 Title: [snap] Files on local network shares are not opened / written Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Run Firefox or Chromium as a Snap package in Ubuntu 22.04 2. Have a SMB file server available where the network shares can be mounted just by clicking on the share in Nautilus file manager (smb:// protocol, usually mounted dynamically via `/var/run/user/.../gvfs/...`) 3. Have one such share mounted and writable 4. Open any website containing images in Firefox / Chromium 5. Right-click on an image and select "Save Image As..." 6. In the file save dialog, navigate to the mounted share 7. Assert content of network share is visible and browsable from within the save dialog 8. Select "Save" at any folder in the network share Actual behavior: * File is not saved to selected network share location * No download entry is created * No error is shown Expected behavior: * File is saved to selected network share location * No error is shown Additional information: * When saving to a folder on the local machine instead, saving works correctly as expected * In contrast to files, new folders that are created from within the save dialog are saved correctly on the network share * Similar situation when trying to open a file with Ctrl + O on a network share from Firefox / Chromium. After double-clicking e.g. an image file in the file dialog, the file dialog closes but nothing happens otherwise. Opening an image on a local folder works fine.
