When trying to add an attachment to an email, firefox crashes and has to be restarted. I don't have this problem with any other browser. I've tried refreshing firefox and that did not help.

I don't think these have anything to do with the problem I'm having, the program just freses up and does not response, so I have to use task manager to close it and I don't think it creates a crash report. But here are the last two that were sent, hope it helps.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and hardware acceleration in Firefox and try this:

I have followed all the links and tried doing what ever they said, but it still freezes up when ever you try to add an attachment.
