Steps to reproduce:

1. Install firefox snap 116.0.3-2
snap install firefox
2. Install openjdk-21 documentation
sudo apt install openjdk-21-doc
3. Browse API documentation
firefox /usr/share/doc/openjdk-21-doc/api/index.html

Actual results:

The search bar is inactive
Console contains
Loading failed for the <script> with source “file:///usr/share/doc/openjdk-21-jre-headless/api/script-dir/jquery-3.6.1.min.js”.

$ls -l /usr/share/doc/openjdk-21-jre-headless/api/script-dir/jquery-3.6.1.min.js
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Mar 17 13:31 /usr/share/doc/openjdk-21-jre-headless/api/script-dir/jquery-3.6.1.min.js -> ../../../../javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js

cat /usr/share/doc/openjdk-21-jre-headless/api/script-dir/jquery-3.6.1.min.js
prints the file contents

Downloaded version of firefox opens documentation with active search bar and no javascript errors

Expected results:

Firefox snap should be able to follow symlink and correctly load OpenJDK API documentation.
