the fix will be rather on a11y side but I agree this shouldn't go until we have accessibility solution for this. Jamie, I think we need your help. Can you take a look please at try build: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/mlamo...@mozilla.com-b61257dc2541/ and say how we should expose the input@type="file" to AT to make it working with NVDA? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209509 Title: <input type=file> does not accept textual input Status in XUL + XPCOM application runner: In Progress Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Firefox 3 (3.0~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1) immediately opens a "file upload" dialog when I click on the file name field. Ff should only open this dialog if click on [Browse...]. Even after I close the dialog window I can neither input a file name directly into the field nor can I remove the file from the input field. It should be as easy editable as in firefox 2. I use Hardy amd64.
