>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/ [https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/149.0/releasenotes/] > >Always needed a patched version of Firefox before for that.
