As far as I can see in the source history it's been hardcoded to -F p
since the code was written in 2004:

cmd.Append(wxT(" -F p"));

It was changed for 1.10, but it uses the long command options now so
you'll see --format not -F. What version of pgAdmin are you using?

Works fine for me. What platform are you on?

That'll happen if you select a file that isn't a valid dump file
recognised by pg_restore. Note that PLAIN dumps must be restored using
psql manually.
