After changing to Ubuntu 24.04.1 Firefox was installed via snap. This Firefox will not save complete HTML websites. Older saved websites from a backup cannot be read. Firefox will not find these files. Firefox uses strange paths like run/user/1000/doc/bigNumber/downloads instead of /data/downloads which is configured in about:config. Downloading seems to work if I use a download-path within the /home-tree.

Snap packages are confined by default.
Snap applications cannot access anything outside your /home directory. They cannot access /data.
You can move your data into /home
Or you can bind-mount your /data into a /home location
Or you can use a mounting location that is permitted (/home, /media)
Or you can use a separate process to sync /data with a permitted location.
Or you can use a non-snap version of the application.
