When I open the Scrapy shell through the command scrapy shell "http://quotes.toscrape.com/" (this example comes from the Scrapy tutorial), I enter the command view(response) which opens my navigator (Firefox to be precise) with a path looking like file:///tmp/tmpnzkkilst.html and the error "File not found".

Any idea on how to solve this issue ?

It's not a scrapy but the firefox issue. I experienced the same. Files existed in my /tmp folder, however firefox was unable to open them. In my case the firefox was installed from snap by default and for some reason it could not open the files in /tmp.

Resolved it by downloading and installing the firefox directly from Mozilla's website and replacing the snap one.
