User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:8.0a2) Gecko/20110913 Firefox/8.0a2 Build ID: 20110913042007 Steps to reproduce: Used <input type='file'> tag. Actual results: File browser dialog spawned by <input type='file'> is labeled "File Upload". Expected results: While file uploads may be the most common current use for this tag, as webapps become more common, files on the local machine will be opened for other uses. The title "File Upload" can be confusing to users who are opening a file they do not intend to upload. For example, see http://netfools.com/labels/
