Ok, "any file" was wrong. The problem appears to be "any file in the
/tmp hierarchy". That is a common destination for downloading and
unpacking stuff, including by software that displays HTML by reverting
to the system browser.
The error message then is
File not found
Firefox can’t find the file at /tmp/test-results/index.html.
Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

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.
