Can't upload attachments consistently in gmail using firefox 34

I'm running into an odd problem that doesn't seem to be addressed anywhere I've searched. I am trying to add attachments to gmail messages using Firefox 34, but I get an error message "Attachment Failed" with options to try again. The interesting this is that if I click "Try again" multiple times, it will eventually load the attachment. Now for some of the facts:
1. I've made an exception for mail.google.com in my pop-ups
2. I've cleared my cookies and cache...repeatedly.
3. I've noticed that my Kaspersky 2014 URL Advisor extension is not compatible with Firefox 34, but I can't see how that is the problem.
4. I have even tried turning off my proxy to see if it helps - it doesn't
5. I can upload attachments fine in IE - a browser I detest.
Any suggestions?

Does the happen in Safe Mode?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • I cannot open any attachments in hotmail when using firefox 4 beta

    I cannot open any attachments in hotmail when using firefox, but had no problems with the attachments when using safari. I much prefer using firefox and don't want to have to change.
    Can anyone help please?

    Same here, firefox cannot open any attachment, the page simply refresh itself or perhaps its not refresh but some kind of ajax. But NOTHING happens at all.
    Attachment downloads fine if I use IE though.

  • I was recently able to attach files in gmail using Firefox, but now I get an unresponsive link, when I click "upload". It works fine on other browsers. I search the question database but perhaps I missed the fix. Any suggestions?

    I am using windows 7 Home Premium, on an HP. I use and enjoy the Firefox browser. The only major extension that could cause clicking issues is possibly NoScript. But until recently I have had no problems with uploading attachments in Gmail through Firefox.
    The issue:
    I start Gmail. Logging in is fine. When I compose a new message (still no problem) I can't upload any attachment via the attachment link. I click the attach link and it is unresponsive. I use internet explorer and I get no issues. I've noticed this issue only since yesterday. Please help.
    Thanks
    R/S Kenneth

    I also had this problem since yesterday (march, 13). I tried cleaning cache and cookies, restarting the browser and the pc, but nothing happened. With IE and Chrome the attachment worked fine.
    I hoped that with the yesterday's 3.6.28 updade it would be fixed, but it didn't.
    Then, I saw the reply to [http://support.mozilla.org/pt-BR/questions/922873 THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM] which was telling to use the refresh button on FIREFOX (not Gmail's refresh). I tried, and the problem was gone.
    So, if anybody has the same issue, try hitting the refresh button on firefox :)
    Thank you, junkcat!

  • I can't attach files in gmail using firefox, can you help?

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if my previous question went through, so I apologize if this is a duplicate. Starting today I'm unable to attach a file to email when using firefox (31.0), function works when using Safari. When I click on the "attach file" button, my search browser does not open. Nothing happens.
    I've read through previous posts of similar problems, have restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, and cleared my history and cache. Unfortunately none of these attempts have been successful.
    Thank you for your time,
    Shea

    If you can't add attachments to Gmail messages then you need to add an allow exception to allow pop-ups for the Google website.
    Easiest to do this is to click the padlock on the location bar and click the "More Information" button to open the "Tools > Page Info" window with the Security tab selected.
    Proceed to the Permissions tab
    Remove the tick on "Open Pop-up Windows" > "Use Default" and click the Allow radio button to change the permission to allow pop-ups for this domain.

  • Only with Firefox, I cannot compose/reply to received email on my alternate gmail account. (It works fine for the main one.) If I change browsers I can...I would prefer to use firefox if possible.

    I am fine in my usual email. When I sign out and sign in to my alternate email (both are gmail accounts) I can receive and read email but I cannot reply to any. I am on my laptop.
    When I am home and using my desktop computer this is not a problem.
    If I use Internet Explorer on my laptop it is also not a problem.
    Since I like Firefox better I would like to remedy this and be able to use Firefox AND reply to emails received in my secondary Gmail account.

    What do you think about the possibility that one of your cookies is confusing GMail when you are logged in to the second username?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > "Clear Now"
    2. Delete your *.google.com cookies
    Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Carefully remove the site's cookies individually, do NOT click remove "all" unless you really want to remove all your cookies (there is no undo for this dialog).
    Any luck?

  • CANVAS program at Univ of Mary Washington- since 15 September am unable to upload documents via my Mac using Firefox 3.6.23, Mac OS X.4.11. Can you help?

    Canvas is the replacement for Blackboard program for posting study material, group conferencing and messaging to students. Until about 15 September, I was able to upload DOC documents to a Files site for students to read as extra assigned material. On or about that date, I have been blocked from doing that. When I go to upload a document, it starts and then says UPLOAD ERROR. I can still upload if I send the DOC document to a PC computer as an e-mail attachment and then upload it on the PC. The following are the specs of my computer:
    I-Mac Processor PC G4
    Memory 512 SDRAM
    OS X.4.11
    Remaining memory on HD approx 30 Gegs
    Firefox browser my standard) 3.6.23
    Like I say, I was able to use canvas fully until around that date. From our IT Dept, I understand that Canvas works with Firefox 3.5 and above. Can you help me?
    Thank you,

  • I can't add attachments to my hotmail using safari

    I can't add attachments to my Hotmail... using Safari.....

    This probably is known with older versions of Silverlight, but from what I remember Silverlight only runs on Intel Macs.  PPC indicates PowerPC.  Are you sure you have a PowerPC Mac?  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac.

  • How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?

    Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else  was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you  upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see  or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with  this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to  encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql  can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.

    Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
    The mysql data type must be blob.
    The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
    The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
    Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
      $uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
      $photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
      $uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
      if ($uploadfile != "") {
    $tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
    $filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
    $width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
    $widthx=$width[0];
    $heightx=$width[1];
    if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
    $image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
    } else {
    $photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
    $photodata = addslashes($photodata);

  • Can't attach documents to my email using Firefox - but I can from Chrome

    This problem just started today. I use gmail for my email messages. When I tried to attach a document to my email, nothing happened and I was not able to add the attachment. When I switched to Chrome, I was able to add the attachment to my email.
    Last night I had no problem adding attachments when I used Firefox. Today I can't.
    Any suggestions?

  • Cannot upload pictures on Ebay when using Firefox with Windows 8.1 - but works with IE 11

    Problem with uploading Photos on Ebay only when Firefox is my Browser - -
    Just recently I have noticed I cannot upload pictures anymore using the option STANDARD. I have to use their BASIC option, which is one picture at a time.
    When I select STANDARD I find that BROWSE does not respond. My configuration is Windows 8.1, 8gb memory and using the latest Firefox.
    Rather oddly it works fine with -
    8.1 + Internet Explorer
    XP + IE
    XP + Firefox
    Just this combination - no go.
    Any ideas ?

    Had same problem since I updated FF26. Always same old answers that don't work: reset FF, reinitialize, try "mode sans echec" (forgot english name for this), cut off addons, AV & firewall, check in config:about etc.. Think posts concerning this same problem are skattered all around because it has many different issues. And that's why FF has not yet digged to the genuine cause.
    My facts: 1) can't browse to send an attachment with an email (but I can with IE); 2) In tools/options if I check "ask where to record" browse doesn't work either. 3) In tools/options if I check "download in such or such file", then it does download in file named "telechargement" ( in french) but I can't choose another file because here again "browse" doesn't work.
    I saw a post somewhere talking about problems related to avast (it's my AV). Know if it's true?
    I'd be really glad if this could be solved cause I don't intend to change. FF is the best!
