[Bug 1968548] [NEW] firefox unable to open files from file-roller

[Valentijn Sessink]

Public bug reported:

Due to Firefox Snap being contained and not being able to read in
~/.cache/, html-files from an archive  cannot be read with Firefox.
Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish

Steps to reproduce:
- open, with file-roller, an archive containing a HTML-file;
- double click (i.e. open) the archived HTML-file (with file-roller)
Now file-roller extracts this to ~/.cache/.$randomname/file.html and tells (through xdg-open? Dunno...) firefox to open it.

Expected result: Firefox shows file
Actual result: "Firefox says: Access to the file was denied

The file at [$HOME]/.cache/.fr-KMCDMo/file.html is not readable.

    It may have been removed, moved, or file permissions may be
preventing access."

This is basically a different manifestation of bug #1959417 but I'm
filing it separately because it is a separate problem.
