Cannot attach files to emails

Over a year ago I could not attach a pciture to an outgoing email when using firefox as my browser and yahoo as my email. Then it started working again and now it is not working again. I type an email and try to attach a file and I cannot. If I sign in thru internet explorer I can attach the file without any problems. Any help would be appreciated on why I cannot attach a file to an emailk with firefox as my browser.

Just installed Pure 2.0 as an upgrade to Kas Internet Security on my ASUS pc laptop. Firefox 18.0.2 has automatically disabled Kas URL Advisor 12.0.1.311, Anti-Banner, and Virtual Keyboard. are these or any other issues w/Pure 2.0 responsible for suddenly corrupting Firefox or my webmail server's ability to attach files to emails just after i had installed Pure? i need your help determining whether that's the cause or simply correlation.
when i try to attach any file to an email message, my email pops up a blank window with the following address: http://md03.quartz.synacor.com/service/upload?fmt=extended
WHAT HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM: 1. a tech service call to my isp who thinks Kas Pure is the issue since all isp diagnostics check out ok. 2. disabling Pure didn't allow for attaching files. 3. neither did uninstalling it. 4. neither did re-installing using Kas-supplied recovery disk which then needed massive updates.
WHAT TEMPORARILY WORKED AROUND THE PROBLEM: 1. restarting Firefox with add-ons disabled. THIS mode allowed attachments, but isn't sustainable. 2. IN ADDITION, as i re-enabled add-ons ONE AT A TIME i could successfully send an email attachment AT EACH POINT. once all-ons were back on and i restarted the computer, the problem returned. 3. sending email with attachments from Internet Explorer (i will not return to that browser!). 4. sending email with attachments through the same isp using our iMac.
i will now try the fix mentioned above.

I cannot attach files in Gmail within Firefox. I can attach files in Gmail from Chrome and IE.

I know it has been mentioned elsewhere too ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999383 ), but I cannot reply to that message... so, here it is again, with full details of the testing we have performed so far....
ALL users or our organization are currently affected.
When you try to attached a doc, xls, pdf, etc. in Gmail the results are all the same in Firefox. You get a red bar with "attachment failed" and an option to cancel or retry.
We have tested with our Proxy On and Off. We have tested with no extensions loaded (I get the message with my 3 extensions on or off -- Adblock+, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere). Versions on which the issue has been seen include 25, 26, 28, 28.0.1 and 29.0.1 (the latest as of this post). Most users in our organization do not use extensions with Firefox.
Attachments link up just fine in IE 10 and 11, and Chrome (with Adblock, Ghostery, and HTTPS Everywhere turned on). This error is only seen in Firefox, with or without plug-ins.
Operating Systems used for testing were Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
The issue was first reported to us today, 5/13/14, but it is unknown if the issue has been around longer. However, Firefox is our organization's default browser due to countless web software vendor recommendations. We most likely would have heard before today if the issue has happened previously.
Any tips or suggestions would be welcome here.

Without trying any of the fixes, the issue seems to have gone away on its own. All users (of about 7 reporting in) can attach files within Gmail using Firefox as of 5/15. We did not try any of the 4 fixes listed above. On 5/13 and 5/14, users could not attach files to Gmail messages within Firefox.
However, on the day of the issue we did try all the mentioned fixes (except #4). All affected users had all history and cache wiped, updated to v29.0.1, and the latest Flash plug-in from Adobe.com. We have the browsers set to clear all history, temp files, cookies, etc. at exit to avoid any cached data issues. We tried with proxy on and off too. Attachments were in the 20K-35K range, so very small. They failed on 5/13 and 5/14 within Firefox, but attached fine in IE and Chrome on the same days.
So, not sure what the issue was, what caused, or why it went away... but we cannot reproduce today, as of 5/15.
Thanks for the tips. I'll bookmark them if the issue reappears.

After upgrade I cannot attach files to emails in mobileme.

upgraded to 7.0.1 and now I can't attach files to emails using mobileme.
I changed to Internet explorer and it works.

i have the same problem on a Mac after upgrading Firefox, no errors, just nothing is happening after clicking on the attachment button. I can add the attachment by drag and drop, but then the receiver tells me he or she received my message with a big red cross through the attachment.

Cannot attach pictures or documents with firefox to an email to send

When attempting to send an email with attachments the attachments will not load with the firefox brouser. Never had this problem with IE. What the heck is Firefox language.

Go here for information how to access your firefox profile.
http://mzl.la/NYhKHH
Directions from the website link above…
Windows 7 - Vista
1. Click the Windows Start button and type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ in the Search box at the bottom of the Start menu, without pressing Enter. A list of profiles will appear at the top of the Start menu.
2. Click on the profile with “default” in the name to open it in a window.
Windows XP
1. Click the Windows Start button, and select Run....
2. Type in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ then click OK.
3. A window will open containing profile folders.
4. Double-click the folder with “default” in the name to open it.
Once in the default profile look for a file called …. User.js and if it is not there use notepad to create a user.js file in the same folder. After you have created the file reopen it and copy the following text into the file and save.
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "https://www.mozilla.org");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
After the file is saved then restart firefox.

Your plug in crashed cannot attach files to emails what to do

keep trying to attach files as per usual to email. will not allow, just crashes, no error message except that the firefox plug in has crashed. no info on what to do. holding up a time urgent matter. tried many times, worked earlier today.

If you can't add attachments to Gmail messages then you need to add an allow exception to allow pop-ups for that 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.

Cannot attach file to email? the file is faint/grayed out

Sending an email with a pages document attached. when I go to attach the document to the email, the file document is very faint or grayed out located under "Documents". It will not attach, in fact, I cannot open the pages document directly from the "File" on the bar.

Sounds like you're trying to attach a Pages "Project" instead of a finished document. The are "package" files that are not a single file but actually a folder of files that make up the project.
In Pages you need to create a single file like .pdf and use it as the attachment.

Cannot attach files to email.

Have configured three email accounts on my curve 3g and have been receiving emails and can also send emails from all of them. Can also view attachments such as pdf, xls and doc. The only problem I have is that I cannot attach pdf, xls, or doc files present on my device or media card to any emails. When I go to the attach option in email, only Picture and Contact pop up. Called up service provider (Ideacellular, India) and they told me Blackberry needs to send me attachment services. Called up redington, blackberry support partner in India. After 4 unsuccessful attempts got hold of the supervisor, who told me that " Files cannot be attached to emails on a blackberry". Prevented myself from fainting and told him to check again. He did check again, told me the same thing and has arranged a callback from Blackberry on tuesday. Researched on the internet, found out about blackberry attachment service. Cannot find it on my device. Connected to desktop manager/Applications/ cannot be seen there too! Have downloaded the OS 6 and installed on my comp. Please help! Please also note, have extensively searched all blackberry forums available and tried everything.

Hi there!
Thank you for the very detailed report...it helps a great deal. I also congratulate you on being properly persistent with them so as to reach someone who has the proper information...all too often folks will ring up their carrier and reach someone who has inaccurate information...and the user all too often accepts the incorrect information they are given. You persisted and moved on to higher and higher levels of support, receiving more and more accurate information along the way. But, there remain a few things to correct from what they told you.
While you indeed need the various services you are subscribed to, the service themselves are not pushed out to your BB. Rather, it is the Service Books existence on your BB that enables your services; if you are missing some Service Books, then the associated services do not function. This would include the Service Book for the Attachment Service.
Additionally, Service Books are not sent to you by RIM. Rather, it is the wireless service providers who push out the Service Books to their users. Typically, a carrier will only push service books for those model BB's that they directly support...hopefully your model BB is one that they do so. If not, then the method to obtain the service books is much more cumbersome than what I am about to recommend you perform.
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then please confirm if your model BB is natively supported by your wireless service provider. If it is, then they have done the proper thing to escalate your case into RIM...that is exactly what they are to do when they cannot resolve a situation. If, however, your BB model is not supported directly by your carrier, then the call with RIM may be of no use...I do not know if RIM authorizes release of the procedure by which to obtain the service books or not. But we do know that procedure and could provide it here to you.
Good luck!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Cannot attach files on website with 64-bit Safari

I am running the latest version of Safari on Snow Leopard, 64-bit. I, however, cannot attach and upload any files with it on any websites, such as Photobucket, Dropbox and even Gmail. When I chose a file, it just didn't pop up and start uploading. Is this just my problem?

HI,
You don't want to run Safari in 64 bit mode...
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.

PDF viewer cannot attach file to email

Hello,
i own a Lumia 820, surprisingly i could not use a file in pdf viewer a Microsoft app to save to sky drive nor i could attach it to an email.
pls suggest A work around.

hi mate,
you can always leave feature suggestions over at Microsoft: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com The PDF Viewer that is supplied isn't that great and has trouble opening some of the PDF's that i have come across too. Hope they fix this soon.

Recently, I have not been able to attach files to emails using the MobileMe webmail system.

When trying to attach files to emails using the MobileMe webmail system, it lets me browse and click on a file but then does nothing and there is no actual attachment. It previously always worked. I checked with the MobileMe folks and they said it is a browser problem. (True, it works in Safari.) Any ideas on how to fix this? I prefer Firefox, of course.

Hi davebundy-
One suggestion I've heard is that ad block may be perceiving the mail client as an advertisement. The solution was to mark the webmail URL as safe with any ad block plugins or software you have. Hope that helps.

I can't attach files in gmail using firefox

<i>Locking duplicate thread.<br>Please continue here: [[/questions/1014563]]</i>
Greetings,
Starting today I'm unable to attach files to emails using my gmail account, when opening in firefox. I'm using the latest version of firefox (31.0) and have been using it fine for a couple of months. I click on the attachment button, and the search browser does not open. Email attachments work fine using safari.
I've uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, I've cleared my history, cookies and cache. I've turned my computer off and back on.
Please help, thank you.
