Bug Description
1) Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS x86_64 with GNOME 3.28.3., XFCE 4.12.2, Thunderbird 60.9.0, Xed 1.4.6
2) Firefox: Installed: 64.0+build3-
3) Dialog box 'open as' to respond to click events in elements and whole browser not get inoperable.
4) Dialog box 'open as' hangs, gets inoperable to click commands (close, cancel, ok, save file) when trying to open some attacked file.
My browser started to hang when the dialog 'open as' appears. It's very useful since it quickly opens an attached file from gmail or browsing pdf/doc files.
When the dialog opens, both the dialog and the browser window get extremely slow and i have to click several times for the dialog to close. No other button responds and sometimes the crash dialog asks if i want to force quit or wait.
I'm having this problem for two weeks now and got so annoyed that sadly had to switch back to chrome. This is a very nice feature that doesn't work on said browser.
I already uninstalled/

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0
Steps to reproduce:
When being prompted as to where should a file be open or downloaded, the dialog box opens but then the browser is almost frozen/very very slow.
I sometimes have to wait 3 or 4 minutes before being able to click OK. Meanwhile, the browser is not usable.
Using Linux Mint 19.1, the issues appeared with Firefox 64. /ftp.mozilla. org/pub/ firefox/ releases/
Testing through different versions from here: https:/
The issue happens only with Firefox 64 and 65 : 63 works fine.
Actual results:
Browser freezes
Expected results:
Let me click OK or Cancel
