User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100626 SUSE/3.6.6-1.2 Firefox/3.6.6

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
CASE 1:
1. Open Mozilla Firefox
2. Navigate to a page with an upload form, and open the browse window
3. Browse to a network location and attempt to select a file.


**OR

CASE 2:
1, Launch OpenOffice.org
2. Select File > Open
3. Browse to a network (SMB) share and attempt to open .doc file.
Actual Results:  
A file at a network location is not treated the same as a file on local filesystem:

" Remote files not accepted

You can only select local files" 

Expected Results:  
Files on network shares, etc, should be treated the same as local files.

Case 2 (this means OpenOffice) is a duplicate of bug 575182

Comment 2 Andrew Joakimsen 2011-05-06 05:31:20 UTC

What is Case 2? I am told "You are not authorized to view case 2"

Comment 3 Christian Trippe 2012-02-01 21:16:33 UTC

Case 2 is the problem OpenOffice? Which seems still to exist according to bug 575182.

Does the problem with Firefox also still exist with 12.1?

Comment 4 Bruno Friedmann 2012-02-02 10:33:09 UTC

From what I've seen any attempt to access a file which is on a remote location (aka opened by a kio process nfs (not pre-mounted), sftp, ftp, smb result in a message, only local file are supported.

Will give a screen shot

Created attachment 474060 [details]
No remote file can be selected by a gtk application under kde4

Trying to pick a remote file on non kde apps lead to "you can only select local files"
