FireFox on OpenBsd
Yesterday I needed to upload a document to a site, and I could not do this
when using FireFox, on OpenBsd. However I could down load with no problem. So I tried using a old Debian 7 version I have on a portable usb drive, I booted with that, and using Iceweasle, I was able to upload the document. At first I had thought it was the website, but obviously that was not the problem Is there some setting/config either in FireFox, or on OpenBsd that I am not aware of ? I looked at the FireFox preferences, and could not find anything. Thinking it might be something related to enable or disable Java scripts. Oddly, on another website/forum, for example here , I have no problem uploading attachments or images using Fire Fox and OpenBsd, so that was what made me think it was the website. Any ideas on this ? Thanks

then upload, but it appears that "file chooser" or "browse" button is what does not work. Thanks Quote:
----------- edit -------------- There was not any output when I tried to use the "browse"(file chooser) option. This is all I got for output: Code:
$ firefox https://XXXXXXXXXXremoved--for privacy firefox:/usr/local/lib/libicuuc.so.12.0: /usr/local/lib/libicudata.so.12.0 : WARNING: symbol(icudt58_dat) size mismatch, relink your program ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment. console.warn: nsLoginManager: searchLogins: `formSubmitURL` or `httpRealm` is recommended console.warn: nsLoginManager: searchLogins: `formSubmitURL` or `httpRealm` is recommended

If the file chooser dialogue works on this site, then I can only assume that your website's script does not call the file chooser. Do you have script blocking addons or any addons installed?
I've tested www/seamonkey, www/firefox and www/iridium ports and all spawn the file chooser as you'd expect. Are you running 6.2-release? |

Thanks,
NO script blocking addons or any addons installed. YES, file chooser dialogue works on this site. And other sites as well, except the 1 , which is why at first I thought it is their site, But then the guy on the other end, was able to upload, and I down loaded fine, I needed to download the doc, print it, and sign it. Then upload a copy of the signed doc, and I couldn't upload, with FireFox, on OpenBsd. 6.1 The last time I had uploaded anything to this particular site was over 2 years ago, and at that time I was using Debian 7, and since I still have it on a portable USB drive, I decided to give that a try, it is so old, it still has Iceweasle, but to my surprise it worked good and I was able to do the upload.

I am going to try Seamonkey, and see if it is any difference. Thanks ----------- edited --------- I tried with Seamonkey but get the same results, it does not spawn the file chooser as expected. but the upload would work .
