    I've just tried this with Firefox 134.0a1 which has been installed
    from upstream not from the Fedora repositories and I get the same
    thing, although in my case the default file manager is Dolphin. My
    guess with this is its a Fedora defect. If I change the default File
    Manage to "Files" then the Firefox show in folder functionality only
    shows a single Files window. Whether Files is being issued by
    Firefox or not I don't know (I suspect it may be to make that
    interface consistent across all platforms) but if it is then it is a
    KDE defect to launch the default File Manager as well if it is not
    "Files".
    
    This issue has highlighted a side defect (in my view) in that the
    default File Manager setting is a drop down, like all the rest of
    the settings, set to Dolphin, Files and Other, and that setting will
    not allow the entry to be set to blank. If Other is specified it
    displays a dialogue to navigate to the app to be used and will not
    activate the "OK" button until a selection is made.
    
    regards,
    Steve
