I use javascript method file.getAsBinary for file uploading. It works fine in firefox3.6, but it doesn't work in firefox8. Does anybody know how to solve this or any method to replace file.getAsBinary in firefox8?

Chosen solution

That method was removed, as per this Bugzilla page: 661876 – Kill obsolete nsIDOMFile properties/methods. Apparently the FileReader (link to MDN) object is the new recommended way to read a file.
