Cannot reproduce with native Wayland Firefox in my git master Wayland session.

Regardless, this is certainly a Firefox bug, not a Plasma bug, as that dialog comes from Firefox itself. Looks like the action is triggering some weird detection within the app, which is not working properly.

I thought this could be a bug in Plasma because I can't reproduce on Gnome with Firefox running natively on Wayland.
