Bug Description

Firefox is 84.0.2
xdg-desktop-portal is 1.8.0-1 (same as xdg-desktop-portal-gtk)
gnome-shell is 3.38.1-1ubuntu1.1
plasma-desktop is 5.19.5-0ubuntu1

(all packages per latest Groovy versions)

Another hint: Running FF offers me a selection of app windows when starting to share the screen (for example in a Jitsi session), doing the same under Gnome only allows me to share my entire screen.

Happy to provide more info, just let me know.
