(solved) firefox flatpak refuses to download any files

hi there, im trying to use the firefox flatpak (have had to resort to using firefox in an arch container, not ideal since i massively prefer flatpaks) and whenever i try to save a file with the "save as" dialogue, the dialoge never appears. firefox acts as if nothing happened, i have no clue what causes this or how to fix it, tried to look up a solution online and there's a surprising lack of people using firefox a a flatpak and even less so people with this particular issue. should add, librewolf flatpak does not have this problem, its able to open the dialogue just fine these issues also dont seem to arise on my steam deck, also running bazzite

Should've closed this but the issue turned out to be that I was on an old build with a broken portal I rebased to a newer image and everything works properly now
