User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150513174244

Steps to reproduce:

I created a html form with the following:

<input name="test" type="file" accept=".tar.gz" />

I opened the page in firefox and clicked the "browse" button on the form. I attempted to select a file that ended in tar.gz


Actual results:

The .tar.gz file I wanted to select (and all other files) were grayed out and unelectable.


Expected results:

It should allow me to select .tar.gz files

WFM with FF40 on Win 7.
.tar.gz files (and the other ones) are not grayed out.

I can reproduce this on 10.10 with the latest nightly, files are greyed out in the selector.

It doesn't match *.tar or *.gz either.
