In fact, it's worse under KDE, because you pick '/tmp/' in the side bar
of the file save dialogue, it looks right, you can press save, the
download feedback happens OK, and then the files don't appear in the
host system at all.

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.
