Bug Description

Places sidebar fails to show network mounted SMB/Samba volumes.

Testcase:
1. Open Firefox/Thunderbird (I use thunderbird for the testcase)
2. Select an email with attachment
3. Select save this attachment option
4. In nautilus save location dialog box you will not see the mounted SMB shares.

The users have save the files to local folder and then copy them to the SMB share volume. This is lot of pain.

Thank you for your bug report, it seems like firefox is setting the gtkfileselector in local mode, not a nautilus issue, is that still an issue in the current version?
