Having just recently allowed Firefox to upgrade from 45 to 52, I'm now
hobbled with the GTK3 file browser dialog.

It's horrible.

First of all, it's freaking _huge_!  It wastes acres of display
real-estate.  It was obviously designed by a megalomaniac who thinks
your computer belongs to him, and that while his filebrowser code is
running, nothing else must be visible.

I used to be able to just start typing a path.  Now, that triggeres
some bizzarre "search" feature that shows a spinner for a minutes at a
time shows a long list of files I don't care about.

I've discovered that hitting Ctrl-L makes it minimally functional, and
I can at least enter a path again.

I shall probably die still longing for the days of GTK2...
