The problem is if you have LibreOffice installed as a snap and try to
open an attachment in Thunderbird, LibreOffice will generate an error
message saying that it can open the file because it does not exist (in
reality it does exist but LibreOffice can't read it, so the message is a
bit misleading).

This is not a Thunderbird bug as the same thing happens if you try an
open a file via Firefox (i.e. you click on a link to download a
spreadsheet and select Open With: LibreOffice Calc).

If you have LibreOffice installed via apt then you can open files via
Thunderbird and other applications, presumably because the .deb version
is not confined in the same way as the snap.
