ubuntu-desktop-minimal Recommends xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and
Recommends are installed by default.
If you intentionally don't install Recommends, then your system will
have bugs like this.
But we can look at making the dependency stronger.

** Summary changed:
- firefox snap can not open any file dialogs
+ Have ubuntu-desktop-minimal depend on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
** Description changed:
+ I propose having ubuntu-desktop-minimal depend on
+ xdg-desktop-portal-gnome | xdg-desktop-portal-backend
+
+ Currently, there is only a Recommends on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.
+
+ If a system doesn't have that dependency installed, then desktop snaps
+ including our critical Firefox and Chromium snaps have severe missing
+ functionality.
+
+ Original Bug Report
+ -------------------
With ubuntu 22.04 firefox comes as snap package by default.
it is not possible to open any file dialog. save graphics as, save html
page, import certificate never opens a file dialog.
firefox is completly useless without that file dialog.
(the root case is ubuntu uses snap)
further: in snap store firefox has no icon and it's called firefox not
"Firefox".
