Unable to attach file in gmail but successfully ataching them in other browsers

all of a sudden i m not able to upload anything via firefoz rather it be gmail attachment or dropbox or 4shared or sendpace but i can do it via other browsers and no i dont face these issues while downloading

Hi haris.ahmad,
Thank you for your question, I understand that adding an attachment to gmail in Firefox is not working for you. After testing this on a new profile on a Windows 8 machine and did not have any troubles. However, this does not mean there is not an issue. In order to further investigate what may be causing this issue. In the past there was pop up that came up to add an attachment to gmail. Can you please also check to make sure that gmail is added to the pop up exceptions list: [[Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting]]
'''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 turns off some settings, disables most 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".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow 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.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • FF 19.0.2 doesn't allow me to attach files in Gmail - I have recent Flash, created other profiles, those didn't work. Only works in Windows7 Pro safe mode

    I have FF 19.0.2 (FF 18.x had problems too), I log into Gmail, try to Compose an email, and the attachment (regardless of type or size) won't attach. Gmail gives me an error of "Retry, Remove, Help"
    I have the most version of Flash, a few weeks ago with FF18.x everything was working fine, with FF18.x the above problem started. Safe Mode with FF doesn't fix it, in creating a new profile FF was updated to 19.x, that didn't fix it. When Win7 Pro loads normally, I turned off my antivirus software (Kaspersky), and my antimaleware software, cleared all my cache in FF, nothing worked.
    Attachments work with IE v8.0 without a problem. Attachments also work on my WinXP Pro (old computer) with older version FF. On my netbook, which has an OEM version of Win7 and FF 10.0, attachments do work.
    IF I start Win7 in Safe Mode, then the attachment works. So something in windows is causing the problem. I have not updated Win7 Pro in months, so it's nothing I recently changed, because nothing has changed w/the OS.
    I'm at a loss as to what to trouble shoot at this point.

    '''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
    But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
    I think my computer is breaking down. :(

  • 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.

  • Has anybody encountered problems attaching files to gmail when run in firefox

    Trying to attach a file (I tried pdf, word, excel files) to a gmail when running in Firefox ended with an "Unable to attach file" statement. However, in IEX and Safari the same works properly.
    Anybody an idea about this problem?

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile].

  • Can't attach files in Gmail

    I am having a major problem with trying to attach files in Gmail in both Firefox and Safari. Has only started happening today. Has been ok before this.  Everytime I click on the atachment link and it brings up the Finder file with files to choose from, it then just crashes and I can't even choose anything or get out of the Finder and Files. Have to click Force Quit. Not sure what is going on. I don't know if this is a Mac problem or  I should be in Google support.
    Thanks

    You didn't mention what you used to scan for malware, but phishing files are often e-mails which should not be deleted using the Finder or any A-V software as it will almost certainly corrupt the mailbox index and could cause mail issues going forward.
    Your problem isn't being caused by malware and as long as you are keeping your Lion OS X fully up-to-date and do not disable it's malware protection, there is no currently known malware that can impact your Mac.
    also did a malware screen and got rid of something called 'Genieo' All now in Trash.
    Did you use TheSafeMac's Adware Removal Tool to get rid of Genieo? If not, then there are likely additional adware files installed which could easily be causing browser crashes.

  • 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.

    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.

  • All of a sudden today I can't attach files in gmail using Mozilla...can in IE & Chrome.

    I have cleared cache, cookies, defragged, cleaned computer. I have looked at all the solutions on line and can't figure out why all of a sudden I can't attach files in Mozilla but can using IE & Chrome. Please help. I have not done anything between when I turned the computer off last night and turned it on today.

    Mine suddenly broke as well today. I tried everything from resetting firefox, to clearing cache, to starting ff in safe mode. No change. I finally figured out if I turned off popup blocking, it would work. I then figured out I could add mail.google.com to the popup exceptions list and voila, it worked!

  • I updated safari to 7.0.3 and pages to 5.2 and can no longer attached files in gmail that are pages or exported to word. Any suggestions?

    I updated safari to 7.0.3 and pages to 5.2 and can no longer attached files in gmail that are pages or exported to word. Any suggestions?

    I have a similar issue.
    After updating Pages to 5.2, all Word export documents are 10 times the size they'd normally be.
    A normal exported .DOC file that would have been under 200K, is now 1.7MB once exported.  !!! ???
    This is a major issue with Pages.

    Try to set the network.http.spdy prefs to false on the <b>about:config</b> page.

    *network.http.spdy.enabled.v2

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

    The SIM question/issue is separate from all of the others.  Your iPhone will not access the cellular newtwork until you install a new SIM.  The current SIM has been deactivated and is now useless.  Get a new SIM, install it (or have it installed), then have your carrier grant the iPhone access to the cellualr network.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.
