Title: unreadable file form upload submits as empty file Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “xulrunner-1.9” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox From testing of gutsy amd64 dvd 20071010.2: I attempted to attach /var/log/installer/syslog directly to a bug report, from a firefox running as my normal user account. firefox evidently attempted to read the file and couldn't (because it wasn't readable to me) and decided therefore that the right thing to do was to send Launchpad an empty file as the attachment. Launchpad spotted this problem and reported "Cannot upload empty file", but not all web applications will do this. firefox needs to notify the user about problems opening and reading files, and to not submit incomplete forms or forms with incomplete files.
