e.preventDefault();
}

function drop(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
//you can check e's properties
//console.log(e);
var dt = e.dataTransfer;
var files = dt.files;

//this code line fires your 'handleImage' function (imageLoader change event)
imageLoader.files = files;
}
$('#cancel_file').click(function(e) {

May be imageLoader.files = files; don't trigger "change event" in firefox so that i have manually triggered change event in drop function and it works for me, you can try this






var imageLoader = document.getElementById('filePhoto');
imageLoader.addEventListener('change', handleImage, false);

function handleImage(e) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(event) {
$('#uploader img').attr('src', event.target.result);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(e.target.files[0]);
$('#cancel_file').show();
}

var dropbox;
dropbox = document.getElementById("uploader");
dropbox.addEventListener("dragenter", dragenter, false);
dropbox.addEventListener("dragover", dragover, false);
dropbox.addEventListener("drop", drop, false);

function dragenter(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
}

function dragover(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
}

function drop(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
//you can check e's properties
//console.log(e);
var dt = e.dataTransfer;
var files = dt.files;
//this code line fires your 'handleImage' function (imageLoader change event)

imageLoader.files = files;

// Create a new 'change' event
var event = new Event('change');
// Dispatch it.
imageLoader.dispatchEvent(event);

}
$('#cancel_file').click(function(e) {
$('.fimg').attr('src', "https://i.imgur.com/j0KblIu.png");
$('#cancel_file').hide();
});

      May be imageLoader.files = files; don't trigger "change event" in firefox so that i have manually triggered change event in drop function and it works for me, you can try this






      var imageLoader = document.getElementById('filePhoto');
      imageLoader.addEventListener('change', handleImage, false);

      function handleImage(e) {
      var reader = new FileReader();

      reader.readAsDataURL(e.target.files[0]);
      $('#cancel_file').show();
      }

      var dropbox;
      dropbox = document.getElementById("uploader");
      dropbox.addEventListener("dragenter", dragenter, false);
      dropbox.addEventListener("dragover", dragover, false);
      dropbox.addEventListener("drop", drop, false);

      function dragenter(e) {
      e.stopPropagation();
      e.preventDefault();
      }

      function dragover(e) {

      function drop(e) {

      var dt = e.dataTransfer;
