Why firefox is not sending 'filename' parameter for form file parts encoded as specified in rfc2388?

rfc2388 states:

The original local file name may be supplied as well, either as a "filename" parameter either of the "content-disposition: form-data" header or, in the case of multiple files, in a "content-disposition: file" header of the subpart. The sending application MAY supply a file name; if the file name of the sender's operating system is not in US-ASCII, the file name might be approximated, or encoded using the method of RFC 2231.

But firefox is just sending 'filename' parameter encoded with the page encoding or the form accept-charset, this is, it is sending raw UTF-8 or the choosen encoding.

Which is the reason for this?

If this is about your own website then try to ask advice at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
