Steps to reproduce:
1. Run Firefox or Chromium as a Snap package in Ubuntu 22.04
2. Have a SMB file server available where the network shares can be mounted
just by clicking on the share in Nautilus file manager (smb:// protocol,
usually mounted dynamically via `/var/run/user/.../gvfs/...`)
3. Have one such share mounted and writable
4. Open any website containing images in Firefox / Chromium
5. Right-click on an image and select "Save Image As..."
6. In the file save dialog, navigate to the mounted share
7. Assert content of network share is visible and browsable from within the
save dialog
8. Select "Save" at any folder in the network share
Actual behavior:
* File is not saved to selected network share location
* No download entry is created
* No error is shown
Expected behavior:
* File is saved to selected network share location
* No error is shown
Additional information:
* When saving to a folder on the local machine instead, saving works correctly
as expected
* In contrast to files, new folders that are created from within the save
dialog are saved correctly on the network share
* Similar situation when trying to open a file with Ctrl + O on a network share
from Firefox / Chromium. After double-clicking e.g. an image file in the file
dialog, the file dialog closes but nothing happens otherwise. Opening an image
on a local folder works fine.
