Access to /tmp directory #1

It would be nice to have access to /tmp directory for opening torrents directly from firefox. Now I have to save .torrent file to downloads and then open it with qBittorrent.

Accessing /tmp an open problem in snapd at the moment, https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/sharing-files-via-tmp/1613/16

The gist is that the /tmp firefox is seeing is specific to its mount namespace.

A fix is in the pipeline for Firefox 77, which will make Firefox use $HOME/Downloads/firefox.tmp instead of /tmp for opened files. It'll also improve file handling in general.
