The file downloads, it is listed in the "Downloads-list" in Firefox (little arrow in the menu bar), but when clicking on the folder symbol next to the downloaded file, the Download folder does not open. So I have to open it manually from my file manager to access my downloaded file.

Does anybody know a solution (or has the same problem)?

I installed Firefox as a snap, and also updated it already, but the problem persists.

Since you are on 22.04, I would recommend installing the APT version instead.
WARNING:You would lose all your data(history, bookmarks and settings) so make sure to sync firefox with your Mozilla account

  • Add the repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
  • Prevent APT from reverting to the snap version during install/upgrade
echo '
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla-firefox

echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-firefox
  • Install Firefox
sudo apt install firefox
  • Remove the snap version of firefox(after syncing it to your Mozilla account):
sudo snap remove firefox

Then to restore your data, sync your APT version of firefox.

WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER CREATING A BUG REPORT TO MOZILLA.
