Hi,
I think I found your problem,
I just out a html file(input) control and a html button for submit ,than I tried to run it on IE ,it worked but when I tried to run it on mozilla firefox it didn't work because file control's name and id tags must be same .
this is my code block that is working on mozilla firefox too;

function show_filename() {
var filename=document.getElementById('fileupload').value; alert(filename);
<script/>

// my controls
<body>
<div>
<input id="fileupload" name="fileupload" type="file"/><br/>
<input id="button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="show_filename();" />
</div>
</body>

note: the important point is file control's name and id must be same.
note 2: if you want to find what's the problem with code , you can use firebug for firefox , you can watch your javascript from firebug's console.
Good luck.
