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.

I should note: widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker needs to be put back to the default, 2, from 0.
