In the end we opted to get the filepath via a Java dialog but here's the gist:
In user.js (same folder as the prefs.js file) I added the following:lines:
user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted",
"UniversalXPConnect UniversalFileRead");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.id", "<URL-TO-YOUR-APP-HERE>");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.subjectName", "");
Now when you read the value property of a file input it should return
the full path to the file selected by the user. Unfortunately this is
taken from some notes that I haven't looked at in a few months - if it
doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to whip up a quick sample.
Best,
