The issue is obviously corrupt mime type in Firefox and has no doubt handled this way for a long time. I can reproduce also on 2-5-X-QA (qa1-nl). The question is does OSP need to change its logic to deel with this portion of the Sakai population. Note: Firefox has 25% market share http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=0 Alan, could you clarify what you mean by "Further, if imported into project site, there is no select option". In the screenshot you included, there is something strange. There should be a "Remove" link next to the name of the file that you just uploaded (where it is listed at the top). That would allow you to select another file. Is that what you are talking about? The "Remove" link is present for me on qa3 in Firefox.
Erica, the problem is associated with the mime type that filefox gives on uploading. This may vary between different firefox's (see link mentioned). When a file is not of a zip mime type, OSP refuses to consider it of the right format and then you do not get the select.
For a tester this is hard to pin down as there is variance. However, one thing is certain a percentage of the end users are affected as firefox has 25% of the market share. The way I would consider cleaning up is two fold. The first is for the kernel code to be improved for this situation and the other is to consider the logic of the OSP code itself. I have brought this up in the last Release Management Meeting and it is on the todo list. The problem for OSP is that it does not see the correct mime type for the format and chooses to ignore the package as incorrect. You should decide if you want the OSP code to try harder. This issue will affect Firefox users and I have been told some OS's in general (Mac ??).

Loosen the mime type restriction for the import files. r73999
Added a missing ")" that was causing trunk not to build 2.7.x, r74258 and 74261.

Test form zip file fails to import with unexpected MIME type
Ubuntu sees the zip files as zip files, so it appears to be a mime dectection issue on the Sakai side. (Can also unzip). See screengrab of zip icon under ubuntu.
