gtk file chooser weirdness in linux-firefox

Hi!

For a long time I am experiencing weird problem when trying to choose file 
from File->Open_File or when I want to change "download action/helper 
application" in the preferences. The problem is that GTK file chooser does 
not list all files in the selected directory.

Check it out here: http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono/buggy_file_chooser.png

 So some GTK library want to convince me that in /usr/X11R6/bin folder there 
are only three files? there are 539!

I tried to right-click and activate hidden files in the chooser, tried from 
the root account, no luck.

Any suggestions?

This problem I have on both i386 and amd64 platforms with FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.1.

Some time ago linux-Firefox was without this ugly GTK file chooser, is there 
any possibility to install/build linux-firefox with another (old) file 
chooser? Or it is as hopeless as to decide which linux distribution to 
install?

Currently I don't use freebsd natively build firefox because it's unstable.
