I tried that and that unfortunately doesn't work :(

I'm using xul:label because there is the crop feature.

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.
