Hi,
Firefox file selector in linux only support local file browsing (it doesn't 
show network places or bookmarked locations). For example, uploading a file 
from a remote folder (usually a common operation with user files stored in a 
NAS server) is not possible.
This same bug is reported in a Ubuntu Launchpad: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/31471


Reproducible: Always

I don't think that gnome-vfs to gio has anything to do with it.
The native Gtk2 filechooser is never called to allow remote locations.

If appendFilters as declared in the idl:
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/public/nsIFilePicker.idl#70
is set to filterAllowURLs the gtk filechoose is *_set_local_only false which 
would allow bookmarks of remote locations to show up.

I could not find any hint that this filter is set by any caller in
Firefox but I'm not sure why and if it makes sense exactly the way it is
done.

It`s crucial to have the network by default.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Firefox and Thunderbird along with lots other programs can't save
  files over the network because the save dialog doesn't show the
  network shares as they are in Places if you have a samba share
  mounted. The workaround is to go through the hidden .gvfs folder
  (Ctrl+H) in your home folder to save the file. So the issue is related
  to gvfs since all these work in KDE.
