Bug Description

The file selector dialog does not work when opened from a web site.

To reproduce:
1) Go to gmail (https://mail.google.com).
2) Create a new email.
3) Click the paperclip icon to add an attachment. Nothing happens.

If I download Firefox directly from Mozilla (version 120.0.1) then the attachment feature opens the file dialog correctly.

I can reproduce the issue on other websites that allow uploading attachments.

I think this may be related to issue bug #2042543.
