When I try to upload a file the file type defaults to "Image files" instead of "All files". How can I change this?

It is possible that the website has added code to only accept image files.

That can't be it - it is a site we all use for work and no other computers are doing it, running the same version of firefox on the same site. We have to upload files, not images.

I have the same problem you have. Is it with a CM/ECF site? If so the problem seems to involve the code, the source for the input button now specifying accept-"image/*".

Greasemonkey may be the quick work around...

It is CM/ECF, that's crazy! Thanks for the tip!
