684556 - File select dialog using obsolete version

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 684506

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Nick]

Attachment: The old (taken from Thunderbird) and new dialogs, side by side

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:9.0a1) Gecko/20110902 Firefox/9.0a1
Build ID: 20110902072738

Steps to reproduce:

Using Windows 7, in the latest version of Nightly, browse for a file using either a file selection dialog or a file save dialog.


Actual results:

The new Windows 7 file selection dialog should have been used, which has always been the case with Firefox on Windows 7. This dialog more closely resembles Explorer and includes a hierarchical list of folders on the left.


Expected results:

The old file selection dialog is used, which only has a set of links at the left, but not a tree view. The layout is also slightly different (Open button is above the Cancel button instead of to the left of it).

Note: Sites that prompt for a dialog via javascript, like imageshack, always used the old version (which was very annoying even at the time)
