I have been running into the same thing since the FileReference API
was introduced. I just chalked it up to the Firefox Flash Player
plugin not working. I run my app in an embedded system and use the
FileReference API to actually upload a software upgrade which the
system them consumes and upgrades with. This works fine on Mac Safari
and Windows IE but not on Mac Firefox or Windows Firefox...or for that
matter, Windows Safari...but I am not too worried about that one.

So you are not the only one with the FIleReference SSL/Firefox issue.
