Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to page that has a link to say an MP3 file
  2. Right-click and do "save link as"
  3. Default target folder will be something like "/run/user/USERID/doc/SOMEHEXSTRING"
  4. Change folder to something like Videos (~/Videos)
  5. Save the file
  6. Right-click on the link again and do "save link as"
  7. Default target folder will be something like "/run/user/USERID/doc/SOMEHEXSTRING" again, should be Videos
  8. The file you saved probably will be shown in the folder, even though you said save to Videos
  9. Looking on disk through file manager or CLI, file probably will be in "/run/user/USERID/doc/SOMEHEXSTRING" folder
  10. In Save dialog, right-click and delete the file, go to Videos, save file again
  11. Looking on disk through file manager or CLI, file probably will be in BOTH "/run/user/USERID/doc/SOMEHEXSTRING" folder and Videos folder ? Not sure.

Actual results:

Snap format of Firefox is not remembering download target folder properly, and delete/save is acting strangely. I'm using FF 80.0.1 on Ubuntu GNOME 20.04

Expected results:

Works in deb format of Firefox.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

I'm starting to think that FF remembers the proper directory, but the dialog displays the name as "/run/user/USERID/doc/SOMEHEXSTRING" instead of "Pictures" or "Videos".

There may be another bug: when FF is a snap, and you use a "file upload" button on a web page multiple times (or multiple such buttons), FF doesn't remember the last-fetched-from directory. Perhaps someone should test all the file open/save dialogs in the snap form of FF. The snap form is behaving differently than the deb form.

This is likely not an issue anymore, can you confirm?

Sorry, I stopped using Snap a while ago, no longer have it set up.

Fair enough, I've went through those STRs quite a lot for others bugs and could not reproduce.
