Do you get the same issue in the Firefox safemode ?

No in the firefox safe mode we get the old fashioned browse & upload box so there is no problem.

Then you have an extension installed that is causing this.
The safemode is just Firefox without Addons.

Please disable the addons one by one and notify the author of that extension about the issue, marking this bug invalid as extension issue
