You are right, this is actually affecting other applications, too. I get the exact same behavior described in the steps to reproduce when using Chromium installed via snap: Local files open fine, opening files on network shares does not trigger any reaction. Should this issue here remain open? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971168 Title: [snap] Files on local network shares are not opened / written Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Run Firefox or Chromium as a Snap package in Ubuntu 22.04 2. Have a SMB file server available where the network shares can be mounted just by clicking on the share in Nautilus file manager (smb:// protocol, usually mounted dynamically via `/var/run/user/.../gvfs/...`) 3. Have one such share mounted and writable 4. Open any website containing images in Firefox / Chromium 5. Right-click on an image and select "Save Image As..." 6. In the file save dialog, navigate to the mounted share 7. Assert content of network share is visible and browsable from within the save dialog 8. Select "Save" at any folder in the network share Actual behavior: * File is not saved to selected network share location * No download entry is created * No error is shown Expected behavior: * File is saved to selected network share location * No error is shown Additional information: * When saving to a folder on the local machine instead, saving works correctly as expected * In contrast to files, new folders that are created from within the save dialog are saved correctly on the network share * Similar situation when trying to open a file with Ctrl + O on a network share from Firefox / Chromium. After double-clicking e.g. an image file in the file dialog, the file dialog closes but nothing happens otherwise. Opening an image on a local folder works fine.
