It wasn’t a very very serious bug, but it was reported a long time ago. In Firefox 2, in 2008 to be exact. The problem is that switching to Firefox 3.5 the problem persisted and continued until a few days ago. Since it was a “non-critical” and “non-priority” bug with a severity of S3 (on a scale of 1 to 5), it was left on the back burner all these years.

“When uploading a file to an HTML form, if the file is unreadable due to permission, the task silently fails.” In short, no notification pops up to tell you there’s a problem, and Firefox does nothing. It’s not enough to whip a cat as long as it doesn’t crash the software.
Another 23 year old bug that will never be fixed
But they are conscientious at Mozilla and 15 years later they still put down a patch that will be added during the next update. The funny thing is that this bug stems from another even older bug, the No. 47009 who is 23 years old! The latter is also in the S3 category, but will probably never be patched unless an independent developer looks into it, because it is in the P5 priority category: “It won’t fix, but it will accept a patch. » We let you translate.
