I have asked this in several places, even AskUbuntu but nobody seems to have an answer.
I am running Ubuntu 22.04, All the web browsers installed have this problem.
Web Browsers: Chrome Version: 108.0.5359.124, Firefox Version: 108.0.1, Edge Version: 109.0.1518.26
Somewhere in the last month or so I have noticed the Web Browsers File Upload button quite responding (System File Dialog does not popup). It started in Chrome first and then right before Christmas I noticed it happening in Firefox. I installed Edge with the same results.
I have tested with multiple websites and still no response. Searching for a fix has not yet been successful. All of the stated possible answers do not seem to work. Looking for any kind of suggestions.
To better explain the problem I am facing, if you visit w3schools website https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_html_file_upload_button, and click on the Choose File buttons, you should get a System File Dialog Popup to choose a file. On my PC, it does nothing. It does not matter which browser, none of them will respond when clicking on the Choose File button.
Is this a browser issue, or a Ubuntu issue? I have ran across a few sites that state some files could be missing but everything I try does not work. Additionally I have noticed that the export bookmarks does not work on any web browser as well.
Yesterday I thought I had the problem fixed. This is what I did:
Re-installed Chrome and other browsers and now the File Upload Buttons as well as Bookmark export features work.
This morning I rebooted my machine and the problem returned.
Looking at the Apt History log. I noticed this morning updates were automatically done however they don't appear to be anything I would think would cause this issue.
Anyone else have this problem or have any idea on how I can resolve this?
Thanks[
