hey patty^^ well you can just upload the file somewhere (many services), then use the link you get and paste it in your email and its basically the same effect. Im currently using an email attachement site as I send sensitive information but as i said there are many places to upload files... good luck with that

The file is 69KB and will not attach even when zipped. I used safari to attach and send it. I don't know what Firefox's problem is. I have a Mac running 10.8.3.

Go here for information how to access your firefox profile.

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.
