Bug Description
The file selector dialog does not work when opened from a web site.
To reproduce:
1) Go to gmail (https:/
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.
