I just found a solution: In the file upload dialogue, hit Ctrl-l to bring up to the address line instead of the path bar. It would be nice, if the address bar were there on default, or if there would be a hint on the bottom of the box, how to bring it up.
If this should stop working at some point of time, I also just found a work-around: In about:config set the option ui.allow_platform_file_picker to false. Firefox then uses a basic build in file upload dialogue, that has an address line. This also shows that this a problem in gnome and not in firefox, because the default file picker is provided by the platform. -- 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/1614100 Title: Upload dialog in Firefox does not have an address bar any more for entering pathes Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Since recently, the upload menu in Firefox allows only for browsing. Thus, instead of simply entering the directory on the keyboard or copying the pwd from the command line, I have to click myself through the directory tree like a monkey.
