In this case I would copy the ppd file into ~/Downloads,
which is permitted by unveil by default inside /etc/firefox/unveil.main:
~/Downloads rwc

In th file selection dialog box it can be difficult to select a directory.
If you are having trouble doing so type '/' and then you can
enter the desired path, ex. ~/Downloads

After having loaded the ppd file I delete it, and cups seems to continue 
working,
I would have assumed that cups loads the file and stores the settings,
not the file path, but I could be wrong.
