** Description changed:
- It was brought to my attention that when signed in as an LDAP-
- authenticated user the default Downloads directory for snapped Firefox
- and Chromium browser is not /home/user/Downloads but e.g.
- /home/user/snap/firefox/common/Downloads.
+ Test procedure:
+ 1. Log in to Gnome as a Active Directory user.
+ 2. Launch browser (firefox or chrome) - make sure there's no existing config
(we are interested in the default Downloads location).
+ 3. Download a file via the browser.
+ 4. Check where it was downloaded.
- When user is set to a local one (outside of LDAP/AD) the default
- Download path is /home/user/Downloads.
+ Expected result:
+ The files are downloaded to ~/Downloads (or a translated equivalent).
- The issue is observed on 22.04 at least with snapd 2.58+22.04.1. I'll
- post an update after checking on other releases.
+ Actual result:
+ The files are downloaded to:
+ ~/snap/firefox/common/Downloads
+ ~/snap/chromium/current/Downloads
+
+ For local users the behavior is as expected (all files are downloaded to
+ ~/Downloads).
+
+ This is very inconvenient for enterprise environments where manual
+ setting modification is needed on every host.
+
+ This has been tested on 22.04 with the following versions:
+ - firefox (116.0.3 Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu canonical-002 - 1.0)
+ - chromium (Version 116.0.5845.110 (Official Build) snap (64-bit))
+ - snapd 2.58+22.04.1
