Well, exactly, but like Andreas Lloyd said:

        Actually, if you check the upstream bug report, you'll find that
        this is the new intended behaviour for Firefox on Linux,
        apparently since it is more consistent with the way that GNOME
        and KDE filebrowsers work, and now they won't change it back.

So it's Mozilla.org who said that they made this change for
compatibility with (a.o.) the GNOME file browser, while this reason is
completely bogus, because it does *not* behave like that in the default
GNOME file browser (at least not in Ubuntu).
