Confirmed in Ubuntu 9.10 using Firefox 3.5 with firefox-gnome-support installed. Open File dialog still fails to list bookmarked remote shares, or mounted remote servers. Tested with SFTP and SMB. Practical use case would be using a webmail client such as Gmail, one cannot attach a file that is on a mounted remote SMB/SFTP share unless one knows to browse to ~/.gvfs/name.of.server/folder_on_server/file_on_server
The other alternative requires copying a file to a local folder first via nautilus. Neither workaround is obvious to end users and both workarounds interrupt the workflow substantially.
