This forum focuses more on end-user support and the built-in features. For scripting issues, I suggest trying the unofficial mozillaZine Web Development board. It's a separate site with separate registration. For best results, please note the tips in the Sticky Post at the top of the forum before posting.

Note that the input field has changed appearance in the current release.

  • Bug 838675 – Make <input type='file'> rendering nicer (keep up with other browsers)
  • Bug 838694 - Move the text showing the file names to the right of the browse button for <input type='file'>
