Bug Description
I have a Samba share that is mounted by SMB4K. All of the other apps on my system can open the HTML files stored there except Firefox. When I try to open a file I get a Access to the file was denied error page in Firefox. The system log reports:
kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(171468711
The user and group on the mounted directory is root. This is a new issue that started to occur in kubuntu 23.10. I am currently running kubuntu 24.04 and still getting this error. Previously I was able to view these files.
My lsb_release -rd:
o LSB modules are available.
Description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release: 24.04
What I expect to happen:
Firefox should open the HTML files on the mounted Samba share.
What does happen:
I get the access denied error page.
Forgot to mention the share is mounted under my home directory.
