OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

Depends on: 493647
Target Milestone: ---
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #493647 +++
The file picker is limited to one window per app, most noticeable when using
internet browsers.
MS Windows' solution is to make the main app non-interactable until a file is
picked. (terrible solution)
I think this would be the perfect file picker:
1- Limited to only one instance system-wide; it will use tabs instead.
2- Internet browsers will now be able to summon multiple file picker tabs, but
only if they are summoned by different websites.
3- The tabs will display which url and/or app that summoned it, for security
reasons.
4- Trying to summon the file picker when a tab for it is already open will now
focus on the existing file picker and switch to the existing tab.
