using Firefox 38 on OS 10.9.5. I think there was a recent update of Firefox, but I'm just noticing that file upload and the window for file upload disorganize the folder organizations on my hard drive. I can't figure out if the organizational principle is most recently modified or what. BUT REGARDLESS - I now stare dumbly at the file upload window hunting not only for the file I want to upload but the parent folder it's in.

Is there a setting to orient the file upload window to just show me my hard drive? Is that so bloody hard?

Thank you

Do you mean upload or download? With downloading, the file comes to you. With uploading, you send out a file.
