Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
While adding the attachment (an SVG that crashes Nautilus) to bug
#438484 I noticed that it hangs Firefox as well. This is a symptom of a
more general problem: trying to select a very large SVG as the contents
of a File form field (e.g. Gmail attachment) results in long delays or
outright hangs - it seems that firefox is trying to thumbnail or render
the selected file. It definitely shouldn't do this, as I'm only
uploading that file, not opening it!
