This bug is still affects firefox 39 and 40. So, I created a simple upload page (http://npd.hol.es/upload.php) to make sure it's fixed or not. This upload script will only allow to upload .rar (Winrar) / .srt (Subtitle) files.
But I get 'Invalid file format' error for every file I upload, even for supported formats. Also, I tried to upload using ubuntu default web browser, still get the same problem. Maybe this issue is in the ubuntu, not in firefox. -- 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/84880 Title: firefox uploads files with wrong mimetype Status in Mozilla Firefox: Invalid Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Using firefox 2.0.0.1 on Ubuntu edgy. If I upload a PDF file to some site using firefox, the receiver gets the file and an associated mimetype of application/binary rather than the correct application/pdf (btw, note that konqueror uploads the pdf file with the correct mimetype). I do not know if the above is a problem with edgy firefox or with upstream firefox, but I suspect the first. The bug seems minor, but is in fact critical to those needing to upload conference papers or journal articles to publishers' web sites. In fact, the latter often refuse the file if the file does not appear to be PDF.
