(WebExtensions :: General, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170824053622

Steps to reproduce:

A) Include a <input type=file ... > element in the option window for the web-extension (see attached image) to select/import for example settings.

B) Save file via <a href="object-url etc." download="filename">...


Actual results:

A) When "browse file.." is selected the web-extension's option window closes immediately and renders event listener, references etc. invalid, and the file can not be processed.

B) As with A, the window closes, but in this case the content can be saved - but is assumed to be unstable (?). No actions can be performed after dialog has been closed until user select the icon for the option window again.


Expected results:

Option window for web-extensions should make an exception and stay open for file dialog use.
