How to edit directories on Linux Save Page As dialog

more options

On the Save Page As dialog on Linux, how do I edit the choices of where to save?

The stock options are Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, and + Other Locations.

I don't use most of these directories, but I do use two dozen others. Navigating to them using Other Locations is painfully slow; it would be ok if I could then save the location I've navigated to, but I haven't found a way to do that, and clicking one path element at a time for 6 element paths over and over gets old quickly.

Typing the path I want either nukes the default filename, or else it tries to match the filename string from the URL in the target directory, which doesn't show me existing directory contents.

Thanks for any clues...

I'm a Windows user. Our "Save As" dialog looks very similar to a normal file browsing window. I'm not sure about your build.

There seem to be different options in this documentation:

https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/the-file-manager-window

but I don't know how that can be made to carry over to Firefox.
