That gives me a portal path in the firefox flatpak. However in other flatpaks with the same filesystem overrides, even those using the same Freedesktop Platform, it gives me the real path.

I think this isn't the main issue though – I shouldn't have to add my download directory to my filesystem permission override. If I use the file selection box in Preferences to select my download directory, I get a portal path. And that path works for downloads. It's only the 2nd and following download that fail, because FF tries to use the document specific path that it saved in `browser.download.lastDir`.
