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>
