What version of Firefox are you using? I started seeing exactly the same 
problem when I upgraded my Ubuntu installation to 22.04, where Firefox 
is handled by snap, and the filepaths it can access seems to be somewhat 
restricted. I ended up using a solution similar to yours: placing the 
temporary file in a folder within my user folder.
