User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0
Steps to reproduce:
I had a pdf open and wished to save it (download)
Actual results:
I was presented with a panel that had the name of the pdf at the top and a list of file-type compatible files in a box below.
I tried to modify the name of the pdf, but my modification was interpreted as a search term.
this is not just non-intuitive, but idiotic behavior
Expected results:
my modification should have been accepted

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::File Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I could not reproduce issue on Ubuntu 20.04 using Firefox build 107.0(20221110173214). After opening the pdf file this is successfully saved.
Can you please attach the pdf that you are trying to save? Does this also happen with a new and empty profile? See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profiledoes this also happen with a new and empty profile? See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profile
Thank you.

can you please post a screenshot or a short video of the problem?
Off-hand it looks like a misconfiguration, that is not how it's supposed to work.

Without more details unfortunately we can't do something here. Off-hand it sounds like the OS-default filepicker is not intuitive, which isn't something we can fix, but something to take up with the relevant linux distribution and/or window manager folks.

If you don't think it is a bug I suggest you close it.
And I did not get an alert for your update.
