Original Bug Report
-------------------
With ubuntu 22.04 firefox comes as snap package by default.
it is not possible to open any file dialog. save graphics as, save html
page, import certificate never opens a file dialog.
firefox is completly useless without that file dialog.
(the root case is ubuntu uses snap)
further: in snap store firefox has no icon and it's called firefox not
"Firefox".
