Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Installed firefox 53.0.3 from Ubuntu Xenial repositories.
2. Tried to Save Link As, or Open File (<Ctrl+O>), or download file.

Actual results:
GtkFileChooserDialog is opened without "Recently used" places zone.

Expected results:
For usability reasons Firefox should have GtkFileChooserDialog with "Recently used" places enabled. See https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/filechooser.png or https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/stable/filechooser.png as examples.
User may want so save/open file to/from last used location.

Ubuntu 17.10 final with all updates - bug is not fixed.
Pressing <Alt+R> helps. What would be more user-friendly?
