What happens when you press the Alt key to reveal the menu bar, then
select "File", then select "Open File…" ? Is the file chooser/browser
dialog displayed? If so, what happens after selecting a compatible file
eg. image/plain text/HTML file? If an error message is displayed,
please attach a screenshot of the error message to this bug report.

Title:
Unable to open any file:/// URL
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The way this configures/installs the snap makes it impossible to open
any file either from the command-line or by specifying a link of the
file:/// kind. That makes firefox unusable for browsing local HTML
documentation.
