[H.S.Rai]

This problem is OS specific. On M$window we can view it as Icons, but
how to have similar things on Linux.

When the "File Upload" window opens, there are a set of icons to the
right of the "Look in:" window.  The one farthest to the right has a
little down pointing arrowhead.  Click on that and you will get the
option to change the view.  The bottom option is thumbnails.  Is that
what you are looking for?  It's a Windows function, BTW, rather than a
Firefox function.
