(....)

Is there a way to change it locally (only for a single user without root 
access)?  I tried to copy the nsFilePicker.js to my 
"~/.mozilla/firefox/<random>/" directory and change it, but it did not 
seem to work.  (The page you mentioned in the original post has this 
questions, but no answer.)

Thanks,

Luis
