File input is not working at all

In my firefox the file input is not functioning at all.

EX: I go to https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_file and try and use any of the file inputs there - they just do nothing.

Same with the file inputs on this support form page. None of them work for me.

System - ubuntu22.04, ff: 106.0.1 64bit

You can check for issues with "xdg-desktop-portal" and possibly install some packages like xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

The site works for me. see screenshot

It worked. But does not work in "main" firefox.

I think something else is wrong with this "main" firefox as the download button on the link you shared did not work either. I had to open chrome and download firefox... lol. So the error description here was, that when I clicked the download button, the download confirmation dialog did open. But saving did not start the download and the dialog itself did not ask where I should save the file - my ff is configured to ask about that every single time.

Thank you! `sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk` was the fix for me. How come installing firefox never triggered the installation of those packages and how come the firefox-bin thingy worked without those packages?
