Firefox Stopped Openign External Links

Before the latest update, I was able to open links (eg zoommtg:) but that quit working. I originally thought it was a problem with Ubuntu, but I tried in Chromium and it seemed to work fine. In addition to not being able to open links, I can't click on the "Show Folder" in the downloads dialog. This leads me to believe Firefox is having trouble communicating with the desktop.

  • OS Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
  • Firefox Version 114.0.1 (Snap)

Ideally, I'd like to find a log or some indicator as to why this is happening. It's quite annoying because I find myself doing a lot of copying and pasting of links and what not. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm a Windows person, but it sounds like it might be related to the file picker issue. See this thread for more information:
