 I have Gnome Files' Preferences set to *not* "Sort folder before files".

 When I save a file using Tor Browser it resets that setting.

 Steps to reproduce
 In Gnome Files' Preferences un-tick the "Sort folder before files" option.
 Launch Tor Browser and save a file using it (e.g. an image from Wikipedia)

 You can see the change happening live if you keep the Gnome Files'
 Preferences dialogue open. The box gets re-ticked.

 You can see similar using  dconf Editor if you open it on this
 /org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/sort-directories-first

 This bug might be specific to Wayland?

 Strictly this might not be Gnome Files but that's where the issue becomes
 apparent (it actually seems to be something called  gtk file chooser?)


 Ubuntu 19.04
 Wayland
 Tor Browser 8.5 (it also happened with the previous version)
 Gnome Files 3.32.0-stable
