I think you'll find that Firefox requires Gnome/GTK libraries on most platforms. I have it installed on Solaris at work and it explicitly says it requires GTK 1.2 libraries.
On Firefox 1.5 on Solaris it defaults to the XUL file picker. There isn't an option to change it on 1.5.
But the file selector that you dislike (aiui, i might be wrong as i've not researched this) is a Gnome 2 file selector written in GTK, Gnome doesn't exist for Windows or Mac OS X (actually, i think it might be in development for OS X) so that dialogue wouldn't exist on those platforms (I also think that ports of firefox have been made to OS/2 and some of the other weird and wonderful OS out there), hence why I looked for the configurable option for changing the selector.
