Our application has problem and fails to load the file in newly released FF3. We have prepared a testing page as follows,

<html><head><title>File Test</title></head>
  <body>
    <script language="JavaScript">
    <!--
       function test(f) {
         alert("File selected is: " + f.filename.value);
       }
    //-->
    </script>
    <form>
      Filename Input: <input type="file" name="filename">
      <input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="test(this.form);"><br>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

When we test the above page, we select a file (e.g. c:\temp\abc.txt) and submit. We found that the path of the file was removed and only alert the file name only (i.e. abc.txt only)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
FF3 only return the filename without absolute path.

Expected Results:  
We expected the value of the input type="file" should return the filename with absolute path as previous version of FF.
