Cool. I have a (cross-browser) java applet to handle drag & drop file 
uploads:

http://panyasan.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/open-source-drag-drop-upload-java-applet-for-websites/

but java applets aren't very well-behaved browser components.

I didn't know this could be done via javascript on Mozilla (if you use a 
signed JAR file). Maybe one could write a mozilla-only extension package 
which can use this for communiating between windows and even the system 
desktop. I use only firefox anyways.

Thanks for the link!
