675505 - can't unselect a file for upload (form)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 431098

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[matteo sisti sette]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.18) Gecko/20110628 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.18
Build ID: 20110628230543

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a web page with a FORM which contains a field of type "file"
2. Click the "Browse" button to select the file to upload.
3. Now you change your mind and you don't want to upload any file, but you don't want to clear the whole form (or refresh the page) and fill all the other fields again. Just want to unselect the file for upload



Actual results:

There's no way to unselect or remove the file for upload. If you click on the file name text field, the browse dialog will pop up again, and it will only allow you to choose another file, but there's no way to select "no file".


Expected results:

There should be a way to select no file or to remove the file you previously selected.
