Due to Firefox being contained and not being able to read in ~/.cache/, html-files from an archive cannot be read with Firefox.

Steps to reproduce:
- open, with file-roller, an archive containing a HTML-file;
- double click (i.e. open) the archived HTML-file (with file-roller)
Now file-roller extracts this to ~/.cache/.$randomname/file.html and tells (through xdg-open? Dunno...) firefox to open it.

Expected result: Firefox shows file
Actual result: "Firefox says: Access to the file was denied

The file at [$HOME]/.cache/.fr-KMCDMo/file.html is not readable.

    It may have been removed, moved, or file permissions may be preventing access."

This is basically a different manifestation of bug #1959417 but I'm filing it separately because it is a separate problem.
