you have to open a same file in each browser and to see
what they give as url (location bar)

then do the same with <input file
  -> onchange="alert(this.value)"

compare and make JS for corrections according to each browser

i.e. on my Mac url given by input is :
file://hard_drive/folder/file.htm
or
file:///hard_drive/folder/file.htm
or
hard_drive/folder/file.htm

and rigth url in location.href
would be : file://hard_drive/folder/file.htm
