1866039 - Input with accept="image/*" does not allow selecting HEIC images

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Ross Gardiner]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0

Steps to reproduce:

Create an input element like the following:

<input type="file" name="images" multiple accept="image/*" />

And then try using it to select a file with the .HEIC extension from your local filesystem. (If you don't have one, just rename any file - the file contents don't matter)

Example: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/image-doesnt-include-heic-n34y79

Actual results:

The HEIC images are greyed out and not selectable. (Only tested on macOS 14.1)

Expected results:

HEIC images should be selectable, since they have MIME-type image/heic

I have reproduced this issue in Release v122.0 on a Mac OS 11. The first file input element would not accept a .HEIC image, while the second would. I have verified the fix in Beta v123.0b5 and Nightly v124.0a1. The behavior seen in Windows 10 would also be enhanced because the .HEIC images would not need to be "forced" by choosing the "all file types" from the drop-down anymore.
