Sites like this virustotal.com have a file upload box up front. When I click on the box the browse dialog opens automatically in Firefox. Now why does it assume I am going to wade through all the folders and files and choose a file or folder? IE7 is better in this aspect because I can type in the path manually, or I can paste the path to a file that has been copied through DMEX explorer extension which I use frequently several times a day. Thus bypassing File browse dialog Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Any file upload dialog like the one in virustotal.com 2. Click on textfield 3. Browse dialog opens Actual Results: Browse dialog opens Expected Results: Browse dialog to open only if I click on browse button. If I click on text field it should behave like any other normal text field that allows text paste Usability issue for me at least

This "bug" is invalid, you can also type a path in the "filename" field of the file dialog. If you enter the name of a folder (for example "d:\my documents" which is a valid path on my pc) and then press enter, the dialog will then navigate to the correct folder. PLEASE FLAG AS INVALID.

This is not an invalid bug, it is a duplicate of a valid bug.
