Re: Is it fedora, Firefox or just me doing this to the file "Save" dialogue?

No, it does nothing.

Does not look like it. The focus stays on the window (as the title colour indicates) and TAB or whatever key
do not get to the "Save" button. I must click it.

I did not make any change to the theme. I blame FF 152, with the new settings panel,
which probably messed up something. Maybe bad css?

So you want to know about my major peeve? OK, I feel that you want [:-)].

Right click a tab. The top option was "Reload Tab". My fingers got used to this click click action.

Then one day this feature was demoted to position #2 when a new action took the top spot "New Tab to Right"

Then "Add Tab to New Group" was added above my "Reload" and now I am at #3.

Finally (recently) yet another option wad added up high "Add Split View".

My top action which was #1 for years is now #4.

I am not paranoid because they are clearly after me!

cheers
