I’m having the same problem, in that the “Upload File” button simply does not work in EE 2.8.0 for me. I don’t see any JavaScript errors, it just reloads the page, with no ability to upload a file.
When I click on “Upload File” these are the httpd requests that are generated:

Interestingly, the “Upload” button in Assets is also disabled… yet if I manually upload files to the upload destination, both the File Manager and Assets can see and use the files, so I’m assuming the upload destinations are set up properly.
I verified that:
—The permissions are 777 on the cache dir as well as the upload destination dirs
—file_upload is on for php
Help?
