Somewhat of a PSA for Qt users:
On Linux, Firefox will now default to the XDG portal file picker if available, rather than the GTK3 one, which is usually better integrated with the user’s desktop environment, and more powerful. https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/149.0/releasenotes/
Always needed a patched version of Firefox before for that. Presumably most distros will transparently throw that patch out of their Firefox package, so likely don’t have to do anything.
But well, you don’t specifically need a patched version anymore for that, so if that’s a separate package on your distro, you could consider using the normal package again. Although, I believe there’s also still patches floating about for using the KDE mimetype system…

XDG portal?
This was an about:config before, didnt actually need a patch
Some patched it to change the default in config.
This was back in March.
Nice, that’s one default i won’t have to change anymore.
The GTK3 file chooser is so bad. Genuinely worst part of using GIMP.
Well, good news!
worst part of GTK
