file manager shown with save as function - but no path insertion nor network access is possible

SUMMARY
For example, if I want to save a (downloaded) file (save as) via Firefox or I want to save a file in an e-mail with Thunderbird it does not connect to the default browser which I have selected in the systemsettings.
It shows a very simplified "file manager view" which I have attached as a sample. 
The two major problems are:
1. In this "file manager" I have no access to my NAS-Server but I have within Dolphin.
2. I cannot enter any URL for the desired path for saving the file.

This is very annoying.

I am using KDE Plasma and also still have an XFCE desktop installed previously. I do not not, if there is any interdependency.

This is the GTK file dialog, not the KDE file dialog. It's Firefox's problem for not showing the KDE dialog when running in Plasma. Various distros fix this automatically by patching in support for the KDE dialog, or running Firefox with the use of XDG portals, which use the correct file dialog. Evidently manjaro does not. I requested this already, BTW: https://bugs.manjaro.org/#ticket/zoom/18138. It's a shame they haven't done it yet.

FWIW I believe you can hit the Ctrl+L keyboard shortcut to enable a hidden location entry field in the GTK dialog.

Hi Nate,

Thanks for your respond. But I cannot see your ticket: 
https://bugs.manjaro.org/#ticket/zoom/18138

How can you registrate on https://bugs.manjaro.org ?
I only get on the main page which looks manjaro.org.

I do not understand your meaning with:
"... I believe you can hit the Ctrl+L keyboard shortcut to enable a hidden location entry field in the GTK dialog."

Darn, I guess they re-did their bug system without preserving compatibility with the URLs for existing bugs. That stinks.

I mean hit Ctrl+L on your keyboard while the GTK file dialog is open and the path bar wibb be transformed into a text field that you can type a path into.
