the fix will be rather on a11y side but I agree this shouldn't go until
we have accessibility solution for this.

Jamie, I think we need your help. Can you take a look please at try build:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/mlamouri@mozilla.com-b61257dc2541/
and say how we should expose the input at type="file" to AT to make it working with NVDA?
