Any Safe ...As.. in my Firefox isn't working. Nor from right mouse click, nor from menu-file. Currently I'm with 108 under XFCE(Ubuntu). But the troubles was may be after 98. I've disabled all extensions - persist. I tried also Troubleshooting mode - still persist. I've tried reinstalling - persist. Where have to look? With Chromium I do not have such troubles. Thank you!

Note that this be an issue with "xdg-desktop-portal" and may have to install some packages like xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk Whether to use gtk portal for the file picker. 0:never 1:always 2:auto (true for flatpak or GTK_USE_PORTAL=1, false otherwise)
  • about:config => widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker = 0

cor-el, kindly thank You for that suggestion! Finally with that I've resolved the case - my Fox is in normal working state! Sincerely!

Just to be clear... You're saying that you cannot do what's in my screenshot? Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

X11 or Wayland? Do you have the same issue in KDE? Let me boot to xfce and see if I have the same issue.
