Description
:focus or input:focus does not return a match for INPUT type=file in Firefox. You get an empty jQuery object. Works for all other input types. See http://jsfiddle.net/33Qvv/ for an example. Tab through the input field and note the results in the console for the file input.
Firefox v25.0.1 Windows 7

By plain-DOM test case do you mean one without jQuery? I'm not clear on what you want to see in such a test case. There isn't a native focus selector that I'm aware of. The fiddle I linked to is using document.activeElement to compare to :focus.

I meant something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/33Qvv/5/
This looks like a duplicate of #13041 to me.

This specific problem could be fixed with some Sizzle acrobatics I suppose, but it's such an edge case that it wouldn't be worth the bytes.
An <input type=file> is kind of a strange one since there's only a button and then a separate file choice dialog controlled by the browser. If you think Firefox should consider :focus on this element, file a ticket with Mozilla and post a link to the ticket here.

Feel free to cc :miketaylr at bugzilla.mozilla.org if you decide to file a bug, Mike.
Can you create a plain-DOM test case? If it happens there it should be reported to Mozilla.
