Title:
saving dialog focus skips to search bar
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
New
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:

(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.
