Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 405630

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Alan Friedlander]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/3.0b4

I am running a server application that requests a file to be uploaded.  Using the "browse" button, the complete filename is placed into the text box.  When I hit the "save" button (i.e. upload now)the application complains that the filename is not complete ("Enter a full path in the Plan File field.").  The application works fine with Firefox 2 and the competition's product as well. The name of file entered by the browse button is P:\afriedlander\Compendium\Themes\ChaletNew\CampaignSet\01-Cover\01-Cover.plan.  There are no special characters or spaces in the path or filename.

I have not yet tried to use a similar mechanism from another application yet, so I am not sure if the problem is specific to this application or not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter full complete path name
2.click save
3.
Actual Results:  
Get error message from application.  Operation aborted.

Expected Results:  
File upload

I have not tuned any parameters in Firefox.  I am running with all the default settings.  If I find another application that behaves the same way, I will add an addendum to this bug.
