   The problem is some knucklehead made xdg-desktop-portal a hard 
dependency of MozillaFirefox -- which it should not be. So attempting to 
remove xdg-desktop-portal now removes MozillaFirefox as well,

$ zrm xdg-desktop-portal
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

The following 2 packages are going to be REMOVED:
   MozillaFirefox xdg-desktop-portal

2 packages to remove.

Package install size change:
               |         0 B    required by packages that will be installed
   -273.6 MiB  |  -  273.6 MiB  released by packages that will be removed

Backend:  classic_rpmtrans
Continue? [y/n/v/...? shows all options] (y): n

   I could ignore dependencies, but especially for rolling-releases, I 
try not to do that. A few more days on Zen, and I may be able to just 
remove MozillaFirefox as well.

   I think we need to revisit making xdg-desktop-portal a hard 
dependency of MozillaFirefox. It should not be (1) either do it the 
Gnome way or (2) you can't use the MozillaFirefox package. That's where 
openSUSE is part of the problem. That dependency should not be there.

   You know things have become completely absurd when the [Enter] key 
doesn't work anymore and fingers start getting point to who "not me?" I 
think we can all agree that the [Enter] key should just work...

   Whoever, or whatever, broke that needs to own up to the problem and 
fix it.
