Subject: [PATCH] fix: let A go deeper from home or a drive root

With no usual folder the browser opened at HOME on Use this folder, and A pressed through the screens installed the BIOS files into ~. At HOME or a drive's root A now opens the first folder. Picking the old card to copy from is unchanged.
