I’m porting my extension from chrome.
In the popup window I have a file upload option using <input type="file"....
In chrome the popup stays open while the user is selecting their file in the file selector window.
However, in Firefox as soon as the user click on the file upload window the popup window disappears and the the file select loses all context, the js stop running etc.
Is there a way to keep the popup window open while the user is selecting the file? Or reopen the window with the context of the file selected?
If I open the Browser Tool box and disable autohide for panels, I can successfully upload a file into the extension.
