1848166 - file upload button drag and drop fails (Developer Edition only)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1847363

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Roy Grubb]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

Have file upload button on a web page:
<input id="chooseFile" type="file" name="chooseFile">
Visit web page with Firefox Developer Edition
Drag a jpg file on top of the button.

Actual results:

Drag jpg file onto that button and drop it
a) with Firefox Developer Edition, the web page is replaced with the image dropped
b) with regular Firefox, Chrome, Brave or Edge, the button captures the filename.
(I'm reporting this in Dev Edn and this happens with the Browse... button below on this Enter A Bug page)
I'm using Firefox Developer 117.0b5 (64-bit), Windows 10
Standard Firefox 116.0.2 (64-bit)
I think this happened with the latest update as within the last day or two it was not a problem.
If I click on the button, however, the usual dialogue to get the jpg file location and name appears and the upload works with both editions of Firefox.

Expected results:

With Firefox Developer Edition the button should capture the filename as it does with Standard edition and other browsers.
