@Waterfox@mastodon.social OK, I uninstalled in Pop!_Shop and reinstalled using "flatpak install flathub net.waterfox.waterfox" as suggested at https://www.waterfox.com/support/install-waterfox-linux/ . Now if I navigate to file:///home/jkingdon/work/set.mm/mmil.html (a URL which works in firefox) the error is "
File not found
Waterfox can’t find the file at /home/jkingdon/work/set.mm/mmil.html."

@soaproot @Waterfox I would assume this is a flatpak thing, flatpak sandbox everything by default so maybe waterfox just don't have the right to access that html file (can be tweaked with flatseal)

@soaproot@sfba.social hmm, I’ve only tested on macOS and windows! Will try Linux tomorrow and let you know if I can see what’s going on

@soaproot@sfba.social @Waterfox@mastodon.social It could be Flatpak sandboxing. Have you tried checking its permissions in Flatseal?
