Firefox downloads

I use gimp to make digital collages and for this I do a lot of downloading and uploading. In OpenBSD firefox doesn't allow access to the filesystem except to the Downloads directory. How can I change this behavior?

Re: OpenBSD xen and AWS

Antoine, I actually did use that repo for building and running openbsd on AWS. Unfortunately, I don't have access to physical openbsd machine to create vmdk now. So, I had to resort to running qemu and installing openbsd there, followed by the steps I outlined below. There was a community AMI

Just to specify I'm hoping you are going to solve this software issue in the next releases (a properly running device driver is maybe better that properly running sleep button at my side) or I see a group of *users* moving to procure for themselves the right, standard, one device new keyboard..
