When I open a website where there is a document upload feature and I want to upload a document but when I click the button to upload a document Firefox can't respond, I've tried several methods such as deleting cache, even reinstalling but I still encounter this problem.

I can't add images to this report because of this problem

Thank you

The snap/flatpak packages need a portal installed for the file picker:

sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
