I am at a loss as to where to post this question/email.

There is a (growing?) inconsistency between application using open
file/folder dialog to access "networked" locations, e.g. smb/sftp.

Firefox ESR 60/Atom editor being the latest in my experience.

Is this a redhat/centos issue? a gnome issue? or up to each individual
application?

Other applications (such as Libreoffice/Evolution) provide any/all
available network locations when opening/attaching files.
