Title:
[snap] Libreoffice/Firefox do not open files from thunderbird (more
general: from /tmp)
Status in snapd:
Confirmed
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.
