I want to paste the location of a file to be uploaded into a web form, relevant code piece of it:
<table><tbody id=files>
<tr><td><input type=file size=50 name=file1 class=hf_file>
</tbody></table>
But the middle mouse button here is simply ignored.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mark any text using the mouse
2. Try to paste it using the middle mouse button into the field described in the details
Actual Results:
Paste operation is ignored
Expected Results:
The file location is put into the field.
This is a 32-bit firefox on a x64 Suse 10.3.

Why do you want to remove that field? Using the browse button and the File Upload dialog is so awkward (especially with the strange autocompletion that is in there currently).
I think, this dialog is a workaround for the missing paste functionality, not a solution.
