Bug Description

When I try to download file or save page to hard disks mounted to /mnt download process doesn't start. However download to /media works as expected. Moreover another snap GIMP saves files to /mnt. Snap connection to removable-media is done.

The upstream bug was closed as "RESOLVED FIXED" on 2022-06-24

Testing here with Ubuntu 22.04, Firefox 105.0.3 (snap) and a
USB drive mounted to /mnt and not /media I'm not seeing the
issue as described in the bug description.

pnck, do you still see the problem that you reported five months
ago? If not, can this bug report now be closed?

Further to comments #3 and #4 I'm closing this as being fixed.

@pnck, if this is still an issue then please comment here. As the
bug reporter you should be able to revert the status of the bug
report back to 'New'. Any comments will be seen by the relevant
members of the Ubuntu Desktop team who will advise further.
