Yea, not with firefox, at least not without switching to some third party repo.

I use the ppa because the snap version does not let me use the keypass XC Plug-In or my VPN plug in.

I have the issue that the snap version can't browse files whose path includes a hidden dot file/directory in my home directory. It doesn't seem there's any clean way for me say "no, I give you explicit permission to read these files." My workaround was to sudo mount --bind ~/.foo ~/bar and then browse from ~/bar instead. I'm not sure what they think they were preventing me from doing but they failed.
