When I’m saving downloaded files through firefox, attaching files to a mail, opening files with programs, etc. then I have to use the program’s own file browser (in this case Firefox’s).

My question is, is there a way I can globally add more directories?

In this case with Firefox specifically, to the left column along with Recent/Home/Desktop.

 

p.s. I’m using Arch Linux with i3wm and normally I use the terminal rather than any GUI file manager/browser

    So what’s happening is Firefox is using captive portal detection to find out what file manager you are using. It’s probably coming up empty so it’s defaulting to nautilus. It might be using like a dumbed down instanced version of it, I’m not too sure. The way to add places to nautilus can be googled (see here for example)
