Comment (by lafayettenuke):
There are other situations/environments where the Flash uploader won't
work. For example, because of a problem with Flash and HTTPS, if you've
got your /admin pages behind SSL, the Flash uploader will fail in Firefox.
The bug's chronicled here in the Wordpress MU forums:
* flash upload + https = IO Error
http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=9592
And the bug itself is covered in Adobe's tracker:
* Firefox HTTPS FileReference upload issue
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-201
The actual bug falls in Adobe's lap, but it's another instance where the
Flash-based uploader in Wordpress will flake out and potentially affect a
large number of users. Having this as a site-wide option that's part of
core instead of a plugin will make the whole thing much easier to support,
and save site admins a goodly number of headaches.
