I migrated from Chrome, finally. I wanted to upload a folder to my drive. I have two Google Accounts, one which supports the new Google Drive(GD), one doesn't. I tried to drag and drop the Folder in the New GD, A message popped up, saying you "Folder upload is not supported by your browser.Consider downloading Chrome". Then, I tried to use the Folder upload in non-new-Gd-google account, I had a hard time installing the Java applet. (adding https://drive.google.com to the Configure Java > Security > Add site tab), without this it wasn't allowing because of Certificate issues. After finally installing the applet the drag-drop still doesn't work, instead it opens the folder in ftp-like view. I think it is a serious issue. Fix it.

Hi iNamanGupta, Cheers from moving from Chrome, but Drive does advertise to drag and drop folders. It is possible to select multiple files in an existing folder on web drive already. I have tried this in 30 and 31. 

I will file a bug.

There is also Drive Sync you can try for your desktop that uploads it directly. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1041803
