oh, indeed. I didn't fully understand what non-local means. I'm pretty sure
that Firefox/Thunderbird has no smb client really so the file action needs to
be local indeed.

Ok, if we assume that Mozilla cannot save to SMB itself the behaviour looks
fully correct while unexpected because not many non-KDE applications use the
KDE file dialog.
