[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1790608] Re: [snap] Libreoffice/Firefox do not open files from thunderbird (more general: from /tmp)
Initially not knowing the cause, I filed this bug report on Thunderbird: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1868956 I think there is a conflict between assumptions on how the /tmp directory can be used in Thunderbird and snap.

I mounted a tmpfs in ~/tmp and FireFox can read from there. I think firefox can read from /home (created a /home/dummy.html file which FireFox could read). I haven't tried this (I'm generating temporary html with a script, so a slightly different version of the same problem), but editing /etc/fstab to move the mountpoint of the tmpfs at /tmp to /home/tmp, then a link from /tmp to /home/tmp might work.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1790608] Re: [snap] Libreoffice/Firefox do not open files from thunderbird (more general: from /tmp)
Is there a way to grant Snap access to the /tmp/ directory? I googled for this, but only found a workaround (suggestion to create ~/tmp and symlink that as /tmp) which defies the idea of having a /tmp/ (which clears on reboot). This issue is still around in 22.04, and is quite inconvenient as many applications (like firefox/jammy,now 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 amd64) lean on there being an accessible /tmp/ dir. https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/firefox-snap-no-access-to-gvfs-and- tmp/27253/5 has more details on this, but no solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790608 Title: [snap] Libreoffice/Firefox do not open files from thunderbird (more general: from /tmp) 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.
