22.04.4 LTS snap firefox chromium permission problems

Hi,

I’m experiencing a permission problem with snap and Apparmor trying to run firefox or chromium. I’m running 22.04.4 LTS and Ubuntu Pro support enabled.

This is my snap version:

(base) pippo@Ganimede:~$ sudo snap version
snap    2.61.3+22.04
snapd   2.61.3+22.04
series  16
ubuntu  22.04
kernel  5.15.0-101-generic
(base) pippo@Ganimede:~$

When I run firefox or chromium they stops to start. If I try to launch them from terminal I get back those errors:

(base) pippo@Ganimede:~$ firefox
cannot create mount point for file "/tmp/snap.rootfs_vDF3Sz/README.md": Permission denied

(base) pippo@Ganimede:~$ chromium
cannot create mount point for file "/tmp/snap.rootfs_QFJXpv/README.md": Permission denied

If I go to read in syslog file I can find those lines:

I tried to refresh snap but it can’t complete the operations:

(base) pippo@Ganimede:~$ sudo snap refresh
[sudo] password for pippo: 
Download snap "firefox" (4090) from channel "latest/stable"    4%  772kB/s 47.7serror: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run post-refresh hook of "firefox" snap if present (run hook "post-refresh": cannot create mount point for file "/tmp/snap.rootfs_kHleRT/README.md": Permission denied)
- Run configure hook of "chromium" snap if present (run hook "configure": cannot create mount point for file "/tmp/snap.rootfs_IPuR2q/README.md": Permission denied)
(base) pippo@Ganimede:~$ 

What can I do to fix this problem? Could you be so kind to give me a suggestion? Many thanks and regards, Arpagone

Is this in some kind of container? What does the (base) part of your prompt indicate? A virtual environment?
