How private are the 'Upload' and 'Save As' dialogs?
As a privacy-conscious user, I always worry about the 'Save As' dialog, and especially the 'Upload' dialog.
I know the Upload dialog enables websites to perform certain operations of files without even uploading them.
Can anyone please clarify: How much access to my computer do these dialogs give websites? Can they see all the files in the selected folder, even files I haven't selected? Can they look inside sub-folders, or even the parent folders? Can they tell the full path of the directory? Do they know my PC name?
I want to be sure.
Endret

This goes beyond Firefox browser software issue. For those questions you should direct that to the sites your uploading to and downloading from.
That answer sounds worryingly evasive.
