Comment 62 for bug 607796

Suddenly, it works now for uploading to Gmail and Google+, both on Chromium
and Firefox. Go figure...

Anyway, if there's a bug in something like DnD to Firefox, wouldn't we be
responsible for fixing it on Ubuntu? Unity is not a global standard and we
ship Firefox as our default browser, and we already ship it with many
modifications to behave well on Unity, right?
