firefox 64 doesn't respect the 'accept=' attribute for file selection

Hello,

I notice a bug in firefox 64.0-1 archlinux version :

- when a page contains an '<input type="file">' element with html attribute 'accept=' then firefox doesn't respect this attribute, it shows all files instead of applying the filter "accept",

you can test here this bug with the first demo :

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc … Input/file

I notice the same problem with the last version of chromium (71.0.3578.98-2), but the bug doesn't occur with opera (57.0.3098.102-1),
I want to know if I am alone with this bug ?

I use also plasma (KDE, with oxygen theme), I wonder if it's a problem related to archlinux (bad compilation of firefox or a dependency ?)

thanks

I think the bug may  be related to a gtk library for the "file selection dialog box",
because the combobox "extension file" for the file selection dialog box (in firefox) is not set to "all supported files", it is set to "all files", which is not normal

I suspect this package :

[2018-12-17 20:56] [ALPM] upgraded gtk3 (3.24.1+8+g220f77d8c1-1 -> 3.24.2+7+g43aeb52b73-1)
