When selecting a file for uploading to a server (part of a web-based restore
process), Mozilla shows the file size as 0 bytes, when in fact it is 2.1 GB. 

Reproducible: Always

2.Try to select the file - won't select as it shows 0 bytes
3.

Actual Results:  
Was unable to select file

Expected Results:

Confirming new and OS->All based on dup'ed bug.

Not sure if this is the right component, though, or if it is File Handling.

Reporter: To make it clear, can't you select a file>2gb or can't you upload it
(submit the form)?
Summary: Unable to upload file greater than 2 GB in size → Unable to select file greater than 2 GB in size
The file cannot be selected, as in the file dialog, it shows at 0 bytes. When
attempting to select by clicking on the file name, it does not select.
Probably has to do with the fact that neither necko nor xpcom can handle files
or other objects over 2GB in size... (a signed 32-bit integer is used to
represent sizes).
