Hang on Save As dialog when renaming the file

[jgarciao]

I use Firefox Nightly daily and it works very well except for this issue that annoys me a lot: when I want to save a file, if I change the filename, the Save As dialog gets hung and I have to close or kill the browser and start over.

It also happens when saving a screenshot

Steps to reproduce it:

• Load any site
• Right click > Take a screenshot
• Save Full Page
• Download
• Save As dialog opens
• Delete the proposed filename and try to write another
• The save as dialog gets stuck and now is not possible to close it, not even clicking on Cancel or Save buttons. The parent window is clickable and you can click on the close button (top right) to close the browser

About my setup

• Debian 9.9
• GNOME 3.22.2 using X
• Nvidia Proprietary drivers (latest ones)
• flatpak 1.2.4-1-bpo9+1 and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.2.0-1-bpo9+1 from debian-backports

Save As dialog opens

It's likely your browser config, because in my case/by default the Firefox screenshots tool just automatically saves it in the Downloads dir. (no "save as" opens)

But you can obviously e.g. just right-click on an image and choose "save as" on a website.

I could not reproduce your issue.

In general the issue seems to be one in flatpak, respectively in their desktop portals. But anyway, given that your flatpak version is a little outdated (I have 1.4.2 here) and maybe your desktop environment too (that would be good to know), I guess it is already fixed or so.

At least it does not belong here…

You were right. The error was on my side. I fixed it running this command:

flatpak permission-reset org.mozilla.FirefoxNightly

Thanks!
