Create a web extension with a browser action popup page. 2. Place a `<input type="file" name="file" />` element in the popup page. 3. Open the popup and click the "Browse" option for the file input. Actual results: File chooser window opens and dismisses the browser action popup. Expected results: Popup should remain open when choosing a file. This is the behavior in Chrome & others.
OS: Unspecified → Windows 10
Summary: Web extension browser action popup dismisses when file input browsed → Web extension browser action popup dismisses when system window opens
Also note that this same behavior occurs when downloading a file from the browser action popup as well (via anchor tag `download` attribute). The system window opens asking "What should Firefox do with this file?" "Open with" or "Save File" and the browser action popup is dismissed.
