I mounted a tmpfs in ~/tmp and FireFox can read from there. I think firefox can read from /home (created a /home/dummy.html file which FireFox could read).
I haven't tried this (I'm generating temporary html with a script, so a slightly different version of the same problem), but editing /etc/fstab to move the mountpoint of the tmpfs at /tmp to /home/tmp, then a link from /tmp to /home/tmp might work. But I also saw my first kernel panic after moving some stuff from /tmp to ~/tmp (but haven't reproduced it again), so I'm not sure this is all kosher... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790608 Title: [snap] Libreoffice/Firefox do not open files from thunderbird (more general: from /tmp) Status in snapd: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I received a document via e-mail in Thunderbird. I have the Libreoffice snap package installed. When I want to open the document from Thunderbird, I see the Libreoffice splash screen, and then a dialog stating "/tmp/mozilla_<user>0/<filename>.docx does not exist." The same dialog appears when I navigate to the folder in Files and want to open it. When I copy the file to my desktop, however, I can open it without problems. I guess the source of the issue is confinement, that the Libreoffice snap can only access files from $HOME. But this breaks the case where thunderbird creates a temporary copy in /tmp.
