Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox and Thunderbird along with lots other programs can't save files over the network because the save dialog doesn't show the network shares as they are in Places if you have a samba share mounted. The workaround is to go through the hidden .gvfs folder (Ctrl+H) in your home folder to save the file. So the issue is related to gvfs since all these work in KDE.

Hi, /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ firefox/ +bug/31471
Firefox file selector in linux only support local file browsing (it doesn't show network places or bookmarked locations). For example, uploading a file from a remote folder (usually a common operation with user files stored in a NAS server) is not possible.
This same bug is reported in a Ubuntu Launchpad:
