[Bug 31471] Re: Firefox file selector should show remote shares

[Nate Gingras]

Confirmed in Ubuntu 9.10 using Firefox 3.5 with firefox-gnome-support
installed. Open File dialog still fails to list bookmarked remote
shares, or mounted remote servers. Tested with SFTP and SMB. Practical
use case would be using a webmail client such as Gmail, one cannot
attach a file that is on a mounted remote SMB/SFTP share unless one
knows to browse to
~/.gvfs/name.of.server/folder_on_server/file_on_server

The other alternative requires copying a file to a local folder first
via nautilus. Neither workaround is obvious to end users and both
workarounds interrupt the workflow substantially.
