Actual shortcut file that causes the crash on my machine attached. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy attached shortcut to Windows XP desktop 2. Start new instance of firefox 3. Open a page that displays a file upload input 4. Select the attached shortcut from the desktop and press Open 5. Observe: Firefox 3 hangs Actual Results: Hangs Expected Results: Should display file path in input and be ready to submit the form
------------------ Ok, sorry, reported to wrong publisher, this bug is not part of Firefox 3, but instead seems to be part of Windows XP (sigh). It turns out that Internet Explorer 7 also hangs when attempting to open this Internet Shortcut... Also I am not able to attach the promised file because of that. My apologies.
