Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Opening or saving to network share is not possible in Firefox. Could someone please explain to me why opening/saving is not the same in every application in Gnome? See also the bug I filled for Gringotts. Because this is not the first time I have seen applications without network shares being visible in the save/open dialog screen. Isn't it like calling an object like save file and thus being the same everywhere? Or is this a too simple view of how stuff works inside Gnome?

Pleace note, his is a serious problem for people working within a network, you have to download anything to your local system and then upload it to the desired location in nautilus - thanks nautilus has tab support, which eases the pain, but it still very frustrating.
