This is expected.

Chromium has been using unveil(2) to restrict file access for some
time, and this has recently come to Firefox in -current. This prevents
the browser from being able to access sensitive files unless given
access (in a root-controlled file).

See https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports-cvs&m=157539245010077&w=2
and /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/firefox for more information
about how this affects Firefox.
