 * All the sudden I am having problems while uploading to the media library. My 
   first course of action is to deactivate plugins to see if any are causing issues.
   Sure enough, if deactivate WordPress Firewall 2, I can upload images to my library
   OK. With it on, I cannot. I have this same problem with several sites I manage
   and all work fine when WordPress Firewall 2 is deactivated so I know it must 
   be a problem with it.
 * Try uploading an image to your media library with WordPress Firewall 2 activated
   and you’ll see the problem.

 * I had the same problem. There is only one security filter that is causing the
   problem: uncheck the box: ‘Block WordPress specific terms (wp_, user_login, etc.)
   in application parameters.’ After that you can upload images again and still 
   keep the firewall plugin active.
 * Hope that helps.
