FWIW, I already moved away from firefox to konqueror, the sole reason 
being the new file picker. God knows how many Linux users they drove 
away due to this inefficient filepicker.

I saw your link and read the complete thread, it says to edit the file 
called nsFilePicker.js . On my machine (Debian Sid) this file is 
available as

/usr/lib/firefox/components/nsFilePicker.js

So does this mean only root can change this? or Is there a way to change 
the filepicker based on user configurations without any root permissions?

thanks
