Load temporary add-on button not displaying popup
I'm trying to load a temporary add-on on my browser, but when I click the button "Load temporary add-on", nothing show up.
I tried to look for errors in the console or debugging tool, but nothing. With snap, I removed with the purge option my Firefox and install it again, but the issue still appears.
Some technical details: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Firefox version 101.0.1 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu canonical-002 - 1.0

@jscher2000 great catch, it's not located only on the load addons button but for the whole file picker feature.
I ran Firefox in safe mode and found the following error: Can't open portal file chooser: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown.
I install the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package and now it's resolved, many thanks.

Hi
I recommend that you contact the add-ons team directly in their community forum at:
Do other file browsing features work? For example:
- the Browse button below the text entry box on this site that you would use to upload an image
- File > Open File

Thank you for reporting back. I wonder whether Firefox should check for dependencies when it installs and alert users in a more obvious manner.
