Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Steps to reproduce:
0. Start downloading something big (it needs to take longer to download than completing the next steps so Ubuntu image might be a good choice)
1. Go to http://imageshack.us/ for example
2. Click "Browse..." and select some file
3. Click "Browse..." again and try to select something

Step 3 fails every time on my computer. The file won't get selected by single click and if I double click it seems to select some random file.

Lazy,

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.

We'd like to close this bug report due to its age and long period of inactivity so please let us know if you still see a problem which is related to the one that you reported.

Presumably the site has changed as I can't see the "Browse" button that you referred to in the bug description.

If we do not hear from you this bug report will expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Nice way to ignore all the broken software.

Eero, so is this bug report still valid from your point of view?

No-one will close this report if it is which is why I asked: "please let us know if you still see a problem which is related to the one that you reported".

I can send the contents of this bug report directly to the Firefox developers but I need some confirmation from those affected that the issue is still current some eight years after it was first reported.
