trying to save in folders with many files.

Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages

SUMMARY
I get "Examining (Failed)" notifications sometimes when I try to save a file
from Firefox into a folder with many images (1k+).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a folder with 1k+ images
2. Save an image into this folder in Firefox
3. Try to save another image (so it opens that folder by default)
OBSERVED RESULT
Notification about "Examining (Failed)", and my preferences about this folder
(show previews etc) are not remembered by the save dialog (I am not sure if
this bit about preferences is related).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.20.1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I managed to get 3 log files from xdg-desktop-portal-kde (one when the problem
did not occur, and two where it did. They are here:
https://invent.kde.org/-/snippets/1318
Someone on reddit /r/kde had this problem 6 months ago too:
https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/ft6rsb/warning_xdgdesktopportalkde_message_on_firefox/,
and they say the problem still persists. Creating a fresh user doesn't fix it.
Based on my experience and the reddit user's, it seems that this problem occurs
most often with folders with large number of files. When I moved my files into
a backup folder, I stopped getting the notification in the original folder but
got it in the backup folder.
Before the "Examining (Failed)" notification, for a split second there is an
"Examining" notification with a bouncing progress bar.
