clicking on a file or folder on the file picker sets mouse in drag mode

[ghomem]

After a recent Firefox update, clicking on a file or folder on the gtk file picker window sets the mouse in drag mode.

This is exactly the same problem reported here:

Firefox 47 on Ubuntu 14.04 with KDE.

I have same issue ubuntu 14.04 + firefox 47.

To use the file picker I have to use cursor arrow keys and 'ins' + 'enter' keys for file or folder selection
