There is an file upload field on the web page. User in unable to enter file path directly in to the text box (near [Browse…] button). The error is - Security error.

I use Selenium to run functional test on my web site. 
Firefox 3 - has a lot of security restrictions (comparatively to Opera, IE, FF1.5 and FF2) that does not allow to run Selenium tests.


Selenium error message - Selenium failure. Please report to the Selenium Users forum at http://forums.openqa.org, with error details from the log window.  The error message is: Security error. 
Forum Is full of that messages,  a lot of people has security restriction problems with FF3.

I did not found how to turn off all that security restrictions if FF3. 
Please add a checkbox in the options dialog to disable security restrictions. This option should be available only to web developers.

Regards,
Rostislav
