Uploading a file through a POST (for instance, to http://validator.nu seems to cause FF to leave the file open.

This occurs here on Win XP, and can easily be verified by checking the open handle using handle utility from sysinternals.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to site with file upload functionality, as validator.nu
2. Select a file.
3. Check FF does not have the file open (handle.exe).
4. Upload
5. Re-check.
