1875310 - Files can change in a folder between when DLP runs and the results are returned

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Data Loss Prevention, defect)

Description

:rkraesig brought this up in D198457. To fix this I think we'd have to change the file picker to also return the files present in the directory instead of relying on enumerating them again.

Note that we don't want to always return the files: for example, there's no need for them when the user is just selecting Firefox's default download directory. In theory we could check some implicit condition based on the browsing context, but I think it's probably safer to add an explicit request-bit to the API.
