Bug#563457: iceweasel: file upload entry boxes do *not* allow to *enter* the path, but popup selector

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.6-1
Severity: important

see $subject.

I want to upload files, to bugzillas, to other places, and instead of
allowing me to *enter* the path, a file selector pops up. That *is*
a real pain, I hate that browsing through my thousands of files.

Most systems have
	File to upload: ................... [Browse]
so a text entry plus a browse button. The file browser should *ONLY* be
shown if I click on [Browse], but not when I click into a text field.

Example sites: bugzilla.kernel.org (bugzilla*), create new attachment

Please change that.
