If you try to upload a file to a flash upload site, Firefox will not respond until the upload is done.
Using Flash-Plugin 10.0 r45 (Latest version, I think?)

It is *not* site-specific. It happens on ALL flash upload sites, mediafire as well, for an example.

This bug is specific to GNU/Linux only. It does not happen on Windows. I have not tested on MacOS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get GNU/Linux with latest flash, 64bit Firefox.
2. Upload a file to a file-uploader that uses Flash.
3. Not have it respond until file upload is done.
Actual Results:  
It hung until file upload was done.

Expected Results:  
Show progress bar, allow me to actually use my Firefox while the upload was going.
