i think firefox must cut string with file types if string is too long or show only decription of file types ("Photos and Videos")

Yeah, this is something that can be dealt with at the source code or the internationalization level. The GTK open file dialog command lets you state what will be shown for the file filters. This is obviously too long, and I suspect it might be an internationalization issue because I have never seen this problem with en_US.

Actually, come to think of it, I can't seem to recall if I ever had to upload something specific like an image versus what I usually encounter which is uploading with an "All Files" filter. Maybe this isn't an internationalization thing...
