Text boxes that hold file paths for uploading files are grayed out and can only be modified using the "File Upload" dialog. Clicking either the "Browse" button or anywhere in the text box opens the "File Upload" dialog. That's nice if you're going to use the file selector anyway but it is now impossible to type or paste file paths into the text box (paste is what I really miss).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click in the grayed-out text box (labeled "Please specify a file, or a set of files:" in the example URL given above.
2.You can't type or paste in a file path.
Actual Results:  
You can't type or paste in the text box.

Expected Results:  
The ability to type or paste in the text box.

I talked to somebody in the Firefox Support Chat who wished to be CC'd on this: dukebody@gmail.com
I agree, this is annoying, but it is the intended behavior.  See bug 258875.
