When I open a “Save” dialog, or a file selection dialog, only one type of file is shown. Sometimes it even filters by the extensions.
I don’t want this! This isn’t Windows, where file extensions really matter! How do I disable the filtering, or set it to show “All Files” by default?
The “Save Page” dialog: you’d think there are only 2 files here, both .html files
Nope! There’s lots of stuff!
It’s going to depend on how the application you’re using decides to invoke the dialog. That’s the filter they decided to pass to it. Take it up with Librewolf, or fork the project and patch it for your own use.
What I want is to set the default filter to “All Files” for every application that uses the file picker. I don’t want to do it per application. If there’s a setting for the file picker itself, I want to use that.
