The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Downloads Panel' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

What's the significance of LDAP here?

On the whole this smells like a Snap issue.

It works for local users but not LDAP users. Seems like it was fixed for local users here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535785
But I can confirm that the issue still occurs when logging on to a computer with a LDAP account.

I will confirm this bug based on the previous comment of a secondary user that has reproduced this issue specifically on a LDAP user account.

To provide the status flags of the latest channels/branches, I will need a detailed tutorial on how to set up and use a LDAP account.

Would you be able to provide us with a tutorial on how to set up and use a LDAP account on a Ubuntu 22? Thank you!

I just tried in our lab with OpenLDAP and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. So it doesn't seem related to LDAP per say. We run MS AD + SSSD in production so I will have to set that up in the LAB and from that test we should be able to determine if the issue is related to our config or a general issue.

I can now confirm that the issue occurs on a AD joined Ubuntu 22.04 client using SSSD. Here are the instructions on how to reproduce my environment: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/v6SGxXgn2T/

Thanks, sorry this went out of my radar. Can you:

• reproduce on current versions?
• make sure the $HOME/Downloads directory is properly accessible to the snap?
• make sure there is nothing in about:config that changes the download directory?

Amin, this was filed by Canonical people, can you try to folowup?

Comment 14

[Martin Nyström]

Sorry for the late reply, I thought canonical had closed this bug report already.

This was fixed in the gnome-42-2204 snap. I suppose this can be closed now. @jesse.darnley don't you agree?
