Hello, I believe your issue may be related to other software, for example a Firefox add-on. The word "fakepath" is not something present in the base Firefox, and it seems from the User Agent string that you customized your installation with add-ons.

If this is a Firefox issue, we need step by step instructions to reproduce it on a new installation on a new computer. If this is a system issue, you may be able to find help on "support.mozilla.org".
