On an Ubuntu 22.04 (newly updated from 18.04) box I got Firefox and
Chromium browser back to using the good, system SaveAs dialog box
instead of the horrid (((search box focus grabber and almost impossible
to change file name from the default))) dialog box by doing this:
`sudo snap install snapd`
This version of snapd, 2.38.3, apparently overrides the apt-installed
snapd version 2.38.
That the snap version of snapd wasn't installed ("`snap list`" did not
list it) was the glaring difference between the bad box and a laptop
that did not have the problem.

Bug description:
I'm still wondering why my Ubuntu forces the snap version of Firefox
onto me, despite apt-pinning, but OK, I guess being frustrated about
that would be a lost cause.
In any case:
The snap version of Firefox that my Ubuntu has decided to install despite my
apt-pinning has a bug in the saving dialog.
I've recorded a video and left it online, here:

Following protocol:
1) $ lsb_release -rd

2) $ apt-cache policy firefox

(note how Ubuntu doesn't give a damn about the pin priority, but
whatever)
3) I'm trying to save a downloaded document.
3.1) Firefox opens the save dialogue.
3.2) I would like to enter a filename into the filename bar
4) following 3.1:
4.2) When I try to change the filename, the focus immediately jumps to the
search bar and the dialogue for some reason tries to search for the entered
letters on the drive. I can click back to focus on the filename bar, sometimes
I can manage to type one or two letters, before the focus jumps, again.
This does not happen with the version I installed using apt, but which
repeatedly gets removed by the Ubuntu updating process, to install the
snap version, which sadly never seems to work without problems.
