After upgrade to 22.04 LTS: Cannot open links from evince

sh flag

After the upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS I observed that I can no longer open weblinks from evince. I get the following error message on the terminal where I called evince:

sh: 1: exec: kfmclient: Permission denied

How to fix this?

P.S. After reading this question and its answers permission denied when Evince tries to use Chrome to open link I looked up /var/log/syslog and found this entry there:

Nov 30 17:46:01 uds1045586 kernel: [ 3559.812587] audit: type=1400 audit(1669826761.259:175): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/usr/bin/kfmclient" pid=7788 comm="sh" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1001 ouid=0

EDIT: My browser is firefox (it was the default browser before the upgrade) and it is now a snap.

@24601: When it works for you: Did you do anything with apparmor (configuration, switch it off)? Or do you use an installation "out of the box"?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
