Thanks for the bugreport, however the obexftp backend isn't maintained for some time. There are race conditions, which can't be fixed. It has to be completely rewritten to use new version of bluez library. The "Browse files" item was removed from recent versions of gnome...

There are some problems with the Bluez 4 library. The code is written for Bluez 4, however Bluez 4 isn't maintained now. The bugs will be fixed once the code will be rewritten to use Bluez 5 which have significant api changes. Patches are welcome.
Obexftp backend has been obsoleted in GNOME 3.10, because it is incompatible with Bluez 5, however limited bluetooth support is currently built-in in GNOME desktop.
