Firefox - Preview of images when choosing an image to upload

Hi!

When I choose an image to upload for example to Facebook, I get this dialog box:

However, I need to have the preview of images on the icons of the filenames. Such as:

How can I do this?

Firefox uses the GTK2 file picker which does not support a thumbnail grid (bug #141154). There is an inofficial patch floating around which adds the functionality. Firefox Nightly now uses GTK3 but I don't know whether the feature has been implemented in GTK3 or not.

Re: Firefox - Preview of images when choosing an image to upload

I'm still having the preview of images issue.

These are the things I tried:
Applying the patch by ahodesuka.
Installing Firefox nightly build.
Starting KDE and then Firefox.
Installing kgtk and then '/usr/bin/kgtk-wrapper firefox'.
Changing ui.allow_platform_file_picker in about:config to false.
Changing the order of inode/directory in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
Running Chromium, Chrome and Opera but they all have the same File Picker.

And none of these worked... I need previews above the filenames like this:

I don't know what I did wrong but after applying the patch again and doing 'makepkg -e' and 'pacman -U gtk...', it solved my problem. Thanks and sorry for the trouble!
