FF 140.4.0 - Paths shown in save window (toolbar at top, folder in navigation panel) are wrong
What follows describes what I think is an annoying bug, and as I'm writing a draft of the bug report, I thought I'd post it here first to make sure it's understandable, and if possible to get others to confirm the bug.
In Tools - Settings - Files and Applications, with the following settings: - Always ask you where to save files is ON - What should Firefox do with other files? is set to Ask whether to open or save files
If a file type is not defined in the Applications list/grid, Firefox 140.4.0esr displays the Open or Save box (only Save for .exe files) If you click Save, FF opens a save window according —logically— to the path defined in Tools - Settings - Files and Applications - Downloads, so - The list of files shown to the right is correct, - But the path shown in the toolbar above it is wrong (> ComputerName > C:\ > in my case), - And the selected folder in the navigation column to the left is also wrong (ComputerName in my case)
and that always throws me off.
The bug appeared before FF v140.4.0

Please post a brief message below to confirm or invalidate my finding. Thanks!

can confirm this behavior. When saving a file in Firefox ESR 140.4.0, the file list on the right side shows the correct folder, but the path shown above and the highlighted folder in the navigation pane ar wrong (same as described). Tested on Windows 10 (64-bit). Default download directory is set correctly, and "Always ask where to save files" is enabled. Definitely confusing looks like a path desync in the save dialog.
