Bug Description
I'm still wondering why my Ubuntu forces the snap version of Firefox onto me, despite apt-pinning, but OK, I guess being frustrated about that would be a lost cause.
In any case:
The snap version of Firefox that my Ubuntu has decided to install despite my apt-pinning has a bug in the saving dialog.
I've recorded a video and left it online, here:

Following protocol:
1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release: 22.04
2) $ apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
Installed: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 500
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
102.

(note how Ubuntu doesn't give a damn about the pin priority, but whatever)
3) I'm trying to save a downloaded document.
3.1) Firefox opens the save dialogue.
3.2) I would like to enter a filename into the filename bar
4) following 3.1:
4.2) When I try to change the filename, the focus immediately jumps to the search bar and the dialogue for some reason tries to search for the entered letters on the drive. I can click back to focus on the filename bar, sometimes I can manage to type one or two letters, before the focus jumps, again.
This does not happen with the version I installed using apt, but which repeatedly gets removed by the Ubuntu updating process, to install the snap version, which sadly never seems to work without problems.
