Bug 805884

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #758677 +++

== Cloned because the bug still exists in openSUSE 12.3 RC1 ==

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0

OS: opensuse 12.3 RC1 

Package: Firefox-18.0.2-1.1.1 

DTE:  KDE 4.10.0  (from 12.3 main repo)

As a normal user I just attempted to add a log file as an attachment to a bugzilla.  The log file was owned by root and had 0600 permissions, so I did not have permissions to read it.

When I attempted to submit the bugzilla attachment, firefox did not respond at all.  By chance I tried the same process from windows where Firefox informed me I did not permission to read the file.

After changing the permissions to 0644, firefox on opensuse had no problem submitting the attachment.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a simple text file
2. chown it to root, chmod it to 0600
3. Try to attach it to this bugzilla entry as an attachment
4. I assume firefox will sit silently.
5. chmod the file to 0644 and try to submit again. It should work this time.
Actual Results:  
silent failure

Expected Results:  
An error message should in some way pop up and inform the user they don't have read permission on the file they are trying to submit.
