Initially not knowing the cause, I filed this bug report on Thunderbird:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1868956
I think there is a conflict between assumptions on how the /tmp directory can
be used in Thunderbird and snap. This must be resolved.

Title:
[snap]
Skype has the exact same problem, where files downloaded from chats to
/tmp are not visible to other applications.
Should I raise a separate bug ?

This is terrible for every small team that has files shared in NFS
mounted directories that snaps cannot access. This looks essentially to
be the same problem this one:

This needs a simple, user-friendly fix ASAP.

In fact, it's worse under KDE, because you pick '/tmp/' in the side bar
of the file save dialogue, it looks right, you can press save, the
download feedback happens OK, and then the files don't appear in the
host system at all.

I mounted a tmpfs in ~/tmp and FireFox can read from there.
I think firefox can read from /home (created a /home/dummy.html file
which FireFox could read).
I haven't tried this (I'm generating temporary html with a script, so a
slightly different version of the same problem), but editing
Same, it must surely be a common use case to download files to /tmp
because you do not expect (or want) them to persist. That's what /tmp is

Same, if you click a link in evolution mail that should open in firefox.
It breaks such an important use case that I don't understand, how snap
moved forward to standard. Can't explain this to friends, whom I have
recommended changing to Ubuntu.

I've added a snapd task because it is a question that comes up time and
again on the snapcraft forum, and would likely require changes in snapd
itself for apps to be able to safely share a temporary directory.

Is there a way to grant Snap access to the /tmp/ directory? I googled
for this, but only found a workaround (suggestion to create ~/tmp and
symlink that as /tmp) which defies the idea of having a /tmp/ (which
clears on reboot).
This issue is still around in 22.04, and is quite inconvenient as
I can confirm this issue also exists with opening attached Libre Office
documents from within Mozilla Thunderbird. What a pity this problem
still exists in a LTS version. What can I do to help fixing this issue?

I confirm also: Firefox installed with snap is still unable to open
attachements from Thunderbird. Still means near 4 year now!
Before 22.04 it was possible to install FF with apt. With 22.04 it isn't. So
please, fix that or send snap to hell :-)

Also tried to uninstall Firefox, Thunderbird, Libreoffce and reinstall.
Same problems
