Uninstalling the snap version (sudo snap remove firefox) and installing the traditional version via `sudo apt-get install firefox` resolved the problem.

Здравкоthanks for coming back to me. When I said no files at all in the tmp folder, I was in fact not clear enough. I meant no Dropbox files.
I will be looking into the tmp folder again later, perhaps going with a
watch ls
to capture changes?

I don't think using proposed command is most convenient way. You may want consider following to trace what's going on (almost in real time - time step one second in particular):
i=0; while [[ $((i++)) -lt 60 ]]; do touch ~/timeref; sleep 1; echo "$i: "; find /tmp/* -cnewer ~/timeref -exec echo {} \; 2> /dev/null; done; rm ~/timerefGood luck. 😉
