I've said before that I'd prefer a pure-JavaScript solution. I don't want to
encourage users to install buggy and potentially insecure Firefox extensions in
the course of their regular web browsing. 

I've also said that if you were to support chunked uploads independent of
Firefogg, you wouldn't want to do it with the Firefogg protocol, since it does
not provide a way to detect duplicate, missing or reordered chunks, nor does it
provide a way for the server to report an error message to the user on chunk
upload. In fact, the Firefogg client will keep retrying the chunk upload if you
send it anything other than a "success" message. So enabling this extension is
not a prerequisite for pure-JS chunked upload support.

A quick check of the relevant source suggests that I don't have to reconsider
my position on any of these things. 

Suggest WONTFIX.
