[SOLVED] firefox 149 won't download or save pages

I'm using the firefox-149.0.2-1 package, and if I try to save things it does nothing - doesn't open up a dialogue box.  E.g. I might

Right click on a link and select Save Link As...
File -> Save Page As...
Open a pdf doc then click on the download button.

In all these cases nothing happens.  No error, no freezing. 

Reinstalling made no difference.  I tried downgrading and firefox-148.0.2-1 works fine but firefox-149.0-1 doesn't work.  Changing profiles makes no difference.

I'm not sure what to do next.  Any help?

Thanks.  I uninstalled xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and xdg-desktop-portal and rebooted and now it works fine.
