This is a dialog from GTK3 toolkit. Reassigning component. See: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAppChooserDialog.html Maybe there's a way to show "Browse" button, but from documentation I see none. If you want to open a file from /usr/bin, use a filechooser. The appchooser is about choosing applications that are represented by desktop files. Okay, so we should use filepicker, not the appchooser in Firefox? No, you shouldn't. Choosing a binary in /usr/bin is not a great user experience. Choosing a binary like ~/bin/myscript.sh should not involve managing mime databases :( |
