Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open firefox 3.x
2. Go to myserver URL
3.Open file drag and drop page
Actual Results:  
Nothing appears at the specified applet area for "the first time" when url loaded in firefox3.x.After 2-3 refresh,the applet is visible and applet works fine therafter.If firefox is closed / used again,problem is reproduced.

The drag and drop area must be visible.User must be able to drag and drop file in this area so that the files would be uploaded on the server.
Working perfect for IE all versions. Firefox 2.x and Firefox nest version 4 Beta.
