As far as I know this is gnome specific issue, nothing to do with firefox. That dialog box in question is gnome specific.
You can use the technique described here to use KDE file picker inplace of default gnome file picker, KDE filepicker allows icon preview of image files/ movie files etc etc. http://konquefox.free.fr/#trick_filepicker Maybe in gnome file picker you can do so, but I do not know, as I do not use gnome as much as I use KDE Hope that helps APS On 10/04/2008, H.
