We have a local Javascript application that runs inside a browser. It's a binary file editor (yes, really). Now can someone explain to me why FF3 prevents LOCAL files from opening popups? I now have to disable popup repression in FF3. Can someone explain why my LOCAL javascript can no longer get at the full pathname from a form file input? Grrrrrr... having to go back to Firefox 2. Thanks a bunch. This whole area has got me very cross with Firefox 3.

Should be implemented in FF itself. Copy'n'paste technique would make sense too.
