Issue body
The absence of the cache file (after manual deletion) was causing the chromium snap to crash when opening a GTK file dialog.
This is a backport of the fix from the snapcraft-desktop-helpers project (https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/commit/769110c9101c333c3ae6ccc3663098f094e580be).
