--- Comment #3 from thangalin at gmail.com ---
> It is a GtkFileChooserDialog. The current versions of firefox use gtk3 including the gtk3 file chooser dialog window that you are talking about.

The same dialog is used by LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Pamac (Arch Linux gtk3
package manager), Zotero (bibtex manager), the XFCE4 Desktop settings manager,
and likely many others, including Thunar. This implies it's a bit closer to the
OS layer than Firefox.

Here's another way to reveal the dialog:

1. Start Thunar
2. Right-click on any folder.
3. Click Create Archive.
4. Set Location to: Other

The open Location dialog appears with the non-existent directories.

It does make sense that all of these are using the GtkFileChooserDialog, so
I'll add a note on its issue tracker.

You may close this, if you like, thank you.
