Firefox KDE file picker misses Remote locations

English Applications
#1

I am frustrated with Firefox and the KDE file picker in my Tumbleweed.

Firefox uses the KDE file picker, no issue. However, I don’t see the “Remote” or “Network” places! I have some nfs shares, OK with that, but without the Network/Remote I cannot see my Google Drive!

In Fedora 36, there is a “Network” location which means that I can browse to GDrive.
I am suspecting some different changes, so where can I find them?

Unless of course someone knows what to do and I would be grateful if he can point me to the right direction.

Remove package kmozillahelper, make sure package xdg-desktop-portal-kde is installed and set widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker Firefox configuration option to 1.

You probably will need to lock kmozillahelper after removing so it will not be installed again.

MANY THANKS!
Finally a solution. Why on earth do we have this package then?
