List of permitted documentation paths for the system-packages-doc 
interface for Firefox, Chromium, and any other snap that utilizes it:

/usr/share/doc/{,**} r,
/usr/share/cups/doc-root/{,**} r,
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/{,**} r,
/usr/share/gtk-doc/{,**} r,
/usr/share/libreoffice/help/{,**} r,
/usr/share/xubuntu-docs/{,**} r,

If your html files reside under one of the above system directories, you 
should be able to view them.
