I can't open certain e-mail-attachments which are important to me and my work, because Thunderbird places them in /tmp/pid-99999/ and opens them with my default browser.
I first thought, this should be easily fixable -- but no, there seems not to be a workaround (other than manually installing Firefox). Seriously?!? I wonder: What is going on in your minds?!? I'm using Kubuntu since it exists, but this is yet one more awkward thing slowly pushing me back to the search for another distro. It's one of the most common things to open an HTML-file in the /tmp/ -- being a software-developer I did this myself pretty often -- and you break such basic functionality and say "it's by design".

Status in Chromium Browser: New Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in snapd: New Bug description: Many apps put files in /tmp or ~/.cache to then open those files with other apps. Files won't open from those locations with the Firefox snap. Just within a few days of using, I've found quite a few apps that don't work as they should or seem broken as a result. * Any archive manager (xarchive uses /tmp, file-roller and engrampa use ~/.cache, peazip uses ~/.ptmp) * Catfish (uses /tmp also for opening files in archives) * fish (fish_config uses an html file in /tmp and uses a browser for configuration) Other things not working: * WebUSB (Used in Chromium for securely interacting with USB devices, installing and updating Android devices, etc) * USBMidi (Used in Chromium and Firefox for using Midi instruments) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1972762/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu Post to : linux-traipu@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
