Firefox 3.6 With Full HTML 5 API Support

As the latest firfox came up was were happy to read the below in there site :

“Currently, an entirely new spec is being drafted for file objects and handling within HTML5. It will provide a much more robust interface for accessing content in local files, in addition to extending functionality for file objects within Javascript/DOM. The primary additions include:

* Drag n' drop of local files into a web page. 
* Asynchronous file data access via callback methods.
* Sending file objects via XMLHttpRequest.
* Improved file dialog window that allows for multiple file selection and file-type filtering (bug pending)
* Manipulating files with JS worker threads via postMessage (bug pending)
* Storing file objects within the localStorage/sessionStorage APIs (aaaaand bug pending)"</i>
