[Bug 2042543] Re: Firefox-snap cannot save files or launch apps due to faulty apparmor configuration

[Karl Kastner]

Sadly saving files to my home directory or $HOME/Downloads does not work
at all, because firefox does not even open the corresponding context
menus. All actions where firefox seems to have to read, write or execute
files are not working:

Right click on page -> Save page as -> Nothing happens, i.e. context menu for saving action does not open
Right click on image -> Save image as -> Nothing happens
Print -> Save as PDF -> Save -> Nothing happens
Open page with zoom invitation -> Left click on "Launch meeting" -> Nothing happens
Open drive.google.com -> New -> File upload -> Nothing happens
Uploads to other pages do not work either

However what opening href links to PDF files which are directly
downloaded to $HOME/Downloads and then displayed with the build in
viewer works fine. So I guess that not the file access per se, but some
dbus action for opening the context menu is blocked by apparmor. This is
also the dmesg excerpt suggest, which I attached when filing the report.

For the time being, running firefox outside the snap confinement works
just fine for me.
