Re: Please check the rendering [Browse...] label in file input if you are working on an RTL locale

[Tim Chien]

Hi,

It turned out the patch has caused some issues and will be removed in
Firefox 62 (see bug 1467964)
It's fine to leave the corresponding string changes in Firefox 61 but
please change it back soon.

Sorry for the troubles.

Tim
