You have described a particular behaviour, whether it is a problem or
not depends on your point of view. My version of Firefox on OS X
behaves the same as yours - I can't comment on whether it's a problem
without knowing more about why I should think so.

For example:

<input type="file" onclick="alert(this.value);">

May work better if the browse dialog comes up first.

> any work around?

You mean, can you force the click event to be triggered before the
browse dialog is activated rather than after? No, not that I know of
(OK, the trivial response is to modify the browser source code, but
that is not useful advice for most people).

thanks,

i have input file on div with is hidding and showing when user cilck some
element. It's something like this

<img onclick="show('divWithInput'); delyHide =
setTimeout(hide(''divWithInput''), 1000);" >

and in input
<input type="file" onclick="clearTimeout(delyHide);">

so, ther's is no way to get this working in ff on mac. let it be, i'll
change onclick with onmouseover it wont be exactly what i need, but will be
working :) i hope

BTW
shouldn't it works like this:
<input type="file" onclick="clearTimeout(delyHide);"
onchange="alert(this.value);">

Isn't it too late ? (1 second is not a very long delay)

this here works :

<input type="file" onmousedown="clearTimeout(delyHide);">

Did you try "onchange".
