That's a good question. There's been a bunch of discussion about this in

This seems like a fantastically dangerous feature and ripe for abuse.
Are we doing anything in the UI to make very clear to users what's going on?
Is there going to be a way to disable it?

Targeting Firefox 44 we intend to ship[1] Directory Upload[2], which
provides directory picking (via <input type=file directory>) and directory
drag-and-drop. Our implementation has been developed behind the
`dom.input.dirpicker` preference, enabled only in Nightly builds so far.
In addition to previously announcing our intent to implement[3], Directory
Upload has also been publicized to public-wicg[4], public-webapps[5], and
planet.mozilla.org via my blog[6]. There has been very little formal
feedback other than a suggestion to also support Directory integration with
FormData (that would be a good and obvious enhancement) and some
questioning of whether I/O blocking is really an issue (it can be).
Informal feedback has been along the lines of "seems good to me". Further
feedback continues to be welcome of course.
Our informal understanding is that MS will not ship an implementation in
Edge until at least the new year.
