This is because AppArmor is preventing access to those files/directories. Under normal circumstances it would be abnormal behavior if a browser creates/reads files in /tmp. If your use-case requires access to those files, please extend the AppArmor profile in /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.surf . Kind regards, Reiner
