Well, I'm frustrated today because of 116.0.1.

I'm  using Ubuntu 22.04, to avoid these issues I removed the snapped
firefox and installed the apt-get version recommended in other sites.

It was happily running without problems until yesterday it was upgraded
to 116.0.1 and firefox stopped working.

So, I decided today to move back to the default snap firefox, and here
we are again, suffering with this problem.

I know is not a problem from firefox per-se, this is a problem of snap
whose security model thinks that accessing /tmp folder is dangerous and
didn't provide any workaround way to make it configurable   :-(

And because of my last experience it seems that firefox is moving more
and more to the snap version than to  support the non-snap, which I find
really really bad.

Question for others, is there a bug filed on snap about this flawed
design about /tmp folder?  I would like to add my voice there too.
