Indeed, by default file-roller will temporarily unpack files in the
user's cache folder (it can in some cases fall back to the user's home
directory, or a temporary directory, see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/blob/master/src/file-
utils.c#L55).
Given this, I wonder whether it would be acceptable to allow firefox
(and other browser snaps) to read files under @{HOME}/.cache/fr-*/, by
amending an existing snapd interface.
Or could file-roller be patched to use the OpenFile method of the
FileChooser portal (https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-
method-org-freedesktop-portal-FileChooser.OpenFile)? Would you mind
filing a file-roller bug at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-
roller/-/issues to request this, and link back to it here?
