Since updating firefox, can't attach photo to e-mail

I use firefox 6 as my browser. Since the upgrade, I haven't been able attach any photo's to any out-going email. No problem in the past. I have centurylink.net as my server. After typing the email message, I click on"add attachment". select photo and click on attach. At the top of the page,"connecting" appears but fails to connect. There is no error messages or timing out messages. Something is not allowing the photo to be connected to email. I have tried to use Internet Explorer and it allowed the photo to be connection in a timely manner. I HAVE BEEN USING FIREFOX ALL OF MY COMPUTER DAYS. I DON'T INTEND TO USE I.E. AS A BROWSER.
Thanks for any help.

Not helpful. 'clearing Firefox's cache' is not helpful, since 'cache' doesn't show up in any of the Firefox pulldown menu choices (wasted time looking for that), and the plethora of things 'recent' and 'history' to choose to act on in these menus is also a possible waste of time, not to mention removing useful info for no reason.
I, too, have had this problem 'intermittently' for many months, always involving the 'first' file to attach in a Yahoo! email, and I've always used this workaround OK: click on the filename showing as 'being attached' (while Yahoo's doohickey round spinner denoting 'in progress' whirls and whirls to no effect) and use "Remove File"; THEN, REPEAT 'attach file' task & it then works, if slowly. After that for the same email, attaching add'l files NEVER HAS A PROBLEM.
SO, now today, without any software update yet (I've downloaded Firefox v.11 & will install shortly), at numerous attempts during the day, I CANNOT get the FIRST file to attach in a Yahoo! email. Simply, utterly, frustrating without any rhyme or reason. "Everything else, on plethora of sites, working fine."
thanks.

After Automatic Software Update I Can't Attach Photos in Hotmail via Safari

Suddenly after my iMac update the software on my computer, I suddenly can't attach any photos in Hotmail when I launch Safari.
I have been a Hotmail user for 10 years now and never have had this problem before. This has been my primary account for these years and I don't want to start another email account with a different carrier.
In the middle of uploading on every attachment, I get an error saying "There was a problem adding this file to the message" The files are not too large or the wrong file type.
I am using Safari 5.0.2 and Mac OS C 10.6.4
I am frustrated by this.
Can someone please help me
THANKS SO MUCH

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Quit Safari (Command + Q) Relaunch Safari and try attaching a photo to Hotmail.
If that doesn't help, open a Finder window select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder.
Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help either, quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try an attachment again. If it works, then move that .plist file to the Trash.
Check Safari / Preferences - Security to make sure you either have: Always accept cookies or *Only from sites I visit* selected.
You've had similar issues with Hotmail in the past. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11580566#11580566

At some point, you may want to consider switching to Mac Mail instead of using web based mail written by Microsoft as they may not always support the Safari browser.

In Firefox, can't attach files to Yahoo Mail outgoing messages. Yahoo Mail works fine in Internet Explorer though.

Since yesterday, when I switched from Comcast to AT&T as my broadband internet connection, I have not been able to attach files to my Yahoo mail messages using Mozilla Firefox. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer, but my default browser is Firefox by choice. Is this a Yahoo issue or a Firefox issue? Can you help me resolve it?

Since Lion I can't attach file contents to mail in Mail.

Whe I go to attach something to an email in Mail, i click on the folder that holds the document I want to attach, and it attaches the whole folder.
It used to go into the contents and allow me to select from there. If it were a sub folder it would open it as well.
Anyone know what the issue is?

I just tried using Adobe reader and was successfully able to email to PDF file to myself from the reader. Everything worked fine.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Since updating firefox, the virginia gov site times out. no problem with other sites

Since updating firefox a couple day ago, I get 'The connection has timed out
The server at www.tax.virginia.gov is taking too long to respond''
when I try to get on that site. I had to email my payment info to a friend to pay my sales tax. (She could get on the site) I have no problem getting on other sites.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Since updating Firefox I have problems with playing Zynga games

since updating Firefox I have problems with the Zynga games I am playing. The functions often stop working so I have to reboot the game. Also there are often a lot of items missing on my screen so I can't play at all

I have this problem, as well, since the upgrade to 4.0.1. After the upgrade, I found several 'Recovered Files' in my Trash. On taking a look, they all had to do with the Crowdstar app. Happy Aquarium, I believe, but there are several folders of them. Some of them could have to do with Zynga's FarmVille.
However, after repeated problems, I installed Chrome 10. to see if the Facebook apps. would work. They did, without problems. That tells me the folders in Trash shouldn't have anything to do with whether they operate or not but it has something to do with something Firefox has done, or not done, with this upgrade. Frankly, I'm baffled and more than a little annoyed. :/
However, thinking back to the upgrade, it happened suddenly while I was on the phone with AppleCare on another matter. It was they who suggested I needed to upgrade my browser and I did it immediately, on-the-spot. It wasn't what you would call a 'clean install' because I was on the phone but also online with AppleCare. The process went so fast, I remember there were things about the installation that didn't quite seem right and I do remember that the earlier version of Firefox was not removed prior to the upgrade. Is there any chance something could be out-of whack because of this? If so, I need to know how to save my passwords, bookmarks, profile, and any other critical info that would need to be transferred.

I have HP Simple Pass on my HHP laptop & all saved passwords are no longer avail since updating Firefox.

All of my saved passwords that I could enter by swiping my finger on my HP laptop with SimplePass are no longer useable since updating Firefox. I receive the following error message every time I try to use Simple Pass: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program,"

Digital Persona got out of the consumer touch pad software business, and HP selected Egistec to handle HP Simple Pass.

Can you attach photos to an email via ipad?

Can you attach photos to an email via ipad?

Yes.
Open a new email and touch and hold in the body of the email, when you release you should see "insert photo or video" select that then choose the desired photos. Alternately you may go to your photos and select the photo(s) you wish to send and press the "share" button looks like a box with a arrow coming out of it. Once you press share you can choose email.

Since updating Firefox, Google appears as a string of foreign characers

Hi, since updating Firefox, as the title says, any google page just appears as a string of foreign characters. I've had pages like this before, but only when connecting to live streams. I've disabled all Google-related plugins and addons, but still the problem persists. The solution in the other thread to do with about:config (changing an option to 'true' failed. The only other difference to it is that it won't connect in http any more, just https. Any help?

Hey TheDefiniteArticle,
We've been tracking this issue for a few days now. What date did it start to occur? Wondering if it's an extension update or something.
# In the url bar, type about:config and hit enter. Confirm that you will be careful and proceed.
# In the search bar at the top of the page, past this text without the quotes "network.http.accept-encoding"
# This should narrow down the values in the config file to a single line. In the column that says "Value" please tell me what you see.
# This field should read "gzip, deflate" without the quotes. If that is not the value, double click on that field and paste this vale in.
# Restart Firefox and try a page that has had strange encoding previously.

Why can not attach photo from iPad

I can not attach photo to my email?
I can not crop image for Facebook profile picture

Start in the Photos app and then select the photos that you want to attach to an email - in full screen view tap the icon at the top of the screen of the box with the arrow coming out of it and select Email Photo; in thumbnail view after tapping that same icon you can select up to 5 photos and then tap the Email button top left.
In terms of cropping photos the free Adobe Photoshop Express app allows cropping: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-express/id331975235?mt=8
There are a number of facebook apps that you can use to upload photos to Facebook e.g. the 'official' facebook app : http://itunes.apple.com/in/app/facebook/id284882215?mt=8 (it's optimised for the iPhone but you can upload photos via it), and Friendly For Facebook : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendly-for-facebook/id400169658?mt=8

Attach photo to e mails problem fix

After OS4 upgrade you are unable to attach photo to e-mail and quality of photos are poor . Fix reload all photos and quality is fixed and you can attach photo to e mail again same as before

yes, go into photos, select the photo, tap the screen, there should be a button with a box and arrow. tap that, you get an option to email the photo.
not sure you can do it from within the email app though.

Fail to attach photo to e-mail

I would recommend navigating to:

Begin where it says Get Started and follow the on-screen directions.

I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.
