The test file is referencing a local file that is not accessible from the bugzilla context so it does not show any image. Please update it to use some image from the web by linking it by its full server/path/file .

I can confirm with both attachments that firefox does not do what the reporter requests.
However, according to the spec at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.4.1 it seems there shouldn't be any &name=value string sent to the server. The reported request seems invalid. Can anybody knowledgeable about HTML forms comment?

HTML4 is vague to the point of being useless here.  Browser behavior was inconsistent.  HTML5 standardized on the IE behavior here, and we're matching HTML5 on this.
