Hello,
I have the problem as described. The Dropbox web page does not open when clicking on the icon at the top of the desktop menu bar ( selection option ).
My browser: Firefox 115.2.1esr (64-bit)
Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
It should be noted that it worked at the beginning and then suddenly no longer.

Now is this primarily a Dropbox problem or a Firefox problem ?
All Dropbox does is save a file to your local drive and tells your computer to open it. It has no control of the process beyond that. I'd point to Firefox ESR being the issue, since it's working as expected in Chrome, and not Dropbox.
Side note, it works fine in Firefox (not ESR) on Windows.
I got the same problem on Ubuntu 22. I think the problem is due to Firefox snap-installation.

Hey @sundit! Unfortunately, we can’t click on any links on the forum, due to security reasons.
If you want though, you can attach a screenshot here by clicking on the small camera icon above your message box (right before you post).
