Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

When I tried to upload files to launchpad in a different bug I suddenly uploaded wrong file.

Then i noticed that when selecting a file in the upload dialog it after some seconds steps to the previous file.

So, if I select a file and then go for the Open button it will upload the file that is before the one I selected.
The only way to upload a file is to doubleclick on the file that I want to upload.

This just happened to me also.

It's a pretty dangerous bug, it could be very easy for someone to upload confidential files unintentionally.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
