snap Firefox has its own /tmp directory now. snap Firefox no longer sees the real /tmp directory - so it can't find the plotly generated HTML file.
Firefox 119.0
Ubuntu 22.04

Possible solution: plotly already provides plot.write_html(filename) - so just provide a plot.show(filename) ?

Thanks!

@MarkSwanson, yes, you are correct. With snap, even most (all) of the examples won't work.

I will look into it.

provide alternative show_html method
e3e615a 
 - the show() method by default creates a random named file in `/tmp`
   dir, however in some cases `/tmp` is not available, e.g., snap's Firefox
   runs in an isolated enviroment and cannot access the system's `/tmp`
 - provide a method that calls write_html followed by show for easier
   access

Closes #170

@MarkSwanson , I added a straightforwad implementation in #217. Is this what you had in mind as well?
I actually used it as I got bit by snap as well :)
