The 'simple text' is unusable when on a black or dark background. To make file inputs usable (and there are many, many sites for which file inputs are an essential part of their functionality) for sites with dark or black backgrounds now requires some non-obvious CSS and targetting for Firefox 22 and no other browser. Firefox is effectively unusable for sites with dark backgrounds and file inputs. PLEASE revert to the previous treatment of file inputs as soon as possible. I considered simply changing browser and telling everyone I know to do so too, but it occurred to me that I owed Firefox more than that. Let me restate: file inputs are effectively BROKEN for use on sites with dark backgrounds.

Ff should only open this dialog if click on [Browse...]. Even after I close the dialog window I can neither input a file name directly into the field nor can I remove the file from the input field. It should be as easy editable as in firefox 2. I use Hardy amd64.
