I was wondering if anyone knew how to change how Firefox 3.6+ receives file locations in form fields.
Right now when I click a field to upload a file,
a dialog box pops up rather than letting me enter the info directly into the field.


Any ideas of how to change this to just allowing direct input of locations etc?\

Thanks for any help

This is most likely a feature of the webpage. If you use Greasemonkey, you can modify the JavaScript on that page so it doesn't do that.

It is a feature of Firefox since quite some time already. They see that as a security feature, to avoid JavaScript to access this field or something.
It is annoying because I was used to copy the path of the file I want to upload and paste it in the field.
Now, I use the dragdropupload plugin instead: it allows to take a file in Windows Explorer and drag it to Firefox to drop it in one of these fields.

pheww I thought I was missing where to shut this off in FF so thanks guys for the replys .Link or extension name for this please??

I use a context command copy file/folder path ( DDE version ) to quickly grab dir locations and dump them into fields.
Having a dnd plugin would be the closest thing to this behavior imo.

Your help is much appreciated.
