title: Save base64 encoded image to Firebase Storage
body: <p>Using firebase 3.0.x, is it possible to save a base64 encoded image to the new Firebase Storage service?</p>
  
  <p>I am using canvas to resize images in the browser prior to uploading them, and output them as a base64 jpeg. I know that the Storage api can accept Blobs, but IE9 support is needed for my current project.</p>
