Hi, Separate security issue of importance, please update your Flash 21. Flash Player Version: 29.0.0.171 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Is there a reason you are still running version 59 of Firefox  ? Current version is 60.0.1, update by Help --> About

Please see if can find your program info in Applications and if so can you tell Firefox what to do with it ?? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/applications-panel-set-how-firefox-handles-files

Hi Ralfi, the steps for attaching a document to an email message varies between mail sites (e.g., Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.). Could you describe where the process fails when compared with, say, attaching a PDF or image file?

It is not the mail site. I have used two different mail sites. Both act the same in Firefox (wrongly) and correctly in Safari. When I click on the attach symbol in the mail site, a window pops up, which lets me select file directory and then the file. In Safari I click on the pages file and then the "chose" button. But Firefox treats the pages file like a directory and opens its subcomponents. When Safari is done attaching the file to the email, it is actually a zip file. Like I said Apple has a goofy way of putting together a pages document. It is so goofy that I cannot even swap pages files between my Mac and my iPad without troubles and having to find round about ways. Last night I had to convert the pages file to PDF to get it from my iPad to my Mac. The Mac wasn't able to read the pages zip file sent from the iPad. The iPad however was able to read the pages zip file emailed from the Mac. I am only posting this issue here to make the Firefox developers aware of the bug. Safari and Chrome can do it, so should Firefox. Eventually the day will come, when my Mac and my iPad may die of old age. Then I won't have to mess with that goofiness anymore. I will surely not buy another overpriced Apple product anymore. They had their good days. But those good days are gone, just like Steve Jobs.

Hi Ralfi, I got hands on a very lightly used MacBook Pro, and a test Pages file attached like any other file. I am attaching a screenshot showing how it looked on Outlook mail.

I don't know why yours behaves differently. Firefox normally uses the OS to browse files (some sites use Flash instead), so perhaps it is an OS-level setting that affects Firefox and Safari differently??

Well, if you cannot duplicate the problem, of course, there is nothing else. My Firefox has the "OPEN" button grayed out at this stage. Oh well, I have a way around it. Thank you for trying.

Hi Ralfi, I looked at Pages again, and my test document is a "Single File". This is on OSX 10.12.

Is this article applicable to your version of Pages, where you can switch between the "Single File" and "Package" formats using File > Advanced > Change File Type: Save documents as a package or a single file in Pages, Numbers, or Keynote - Apple Support.

That is news to me. I will check into that, when I get on my Mac again. Thank you Sir.
