I use a Java application which creates temporary HTML files in /tmp and
then uses

  java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse("file:/tmp/tempfile_xxxx.html")

to display this file in the system's default browser.

This worked fine till the upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04,
where it broke completely.

Chromium is my default browser, but does not see the system /tmp dir,
but only the one belonging to the snap.

So it just outputs an "file not found" message after correctly being
invoked by xdg-open. :-(
