Firefox upload files to the internet slower than Chrome

I want to change from Chrome to Firefox but when i've tried to upload files to the internet (Using HTTP) Firefox only uses around 50% of my internet speed. The same file is uploaded by Chrome using the 100% of my internet upload speed.

What could be the problem that makes Firefox to not use the entire upload speed of my internet connection while uploading a file?

The site is irrelevant. I've tried with different storage services which offer high speed uploads and the upload speed is always very far under my maximum upload speed. It has to be a problem of Firefox. The same sites in Chrome upload at the maximum speed always with no problem.
