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... -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! I had pancake makeup at for brunch! gmail.com
