[Bug 304342] [NEW] firefox cannot open file from network share

[Kim d'Audretsch]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Opening or saving to network share is not possible in Firefox. Could
someone please explain to me why opening/saving is not the same in every
application in Gnome? See also the bug I filled for Gringotts. Because
this is not the first time I have seen applications without network
shares being visible in the save/open dialog screen. Isn't it like
calling an object like save file and thus being the same everywhere? Or
is this a too simple view of how stuff works inside Gnome?
