</p><p>When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
</p><p>(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
</p><p>See: <a href="/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache" rel="nofollow">How to clear the Firefox cache</a>
</p><p>If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
</p><p>(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
</p>
<ul><li> right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info &gt; Security &gt; "View Cookies"
</li><li> (menu bar) Tools &gt; Page Info &gt; Security &gt; "View Cookies"
</li><li> click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar, then the "&gt;" button, then More Information, and finally the "View Cookies" button
</li></ul>
<p>In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
</p><p>Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
</p>
<hr>
<p>Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? In Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.
</p><p><em>If Firefox is not running:</em> Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
</p><p><em>If Firefox is running:</em> You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
</p>
<ul><li> "3-bar" menu button &gt; "?" button &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li><li> Help menu &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li></ul>
<p>and OK the restart.
</p><p><em>Both scenarios:</em> A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (<em>not</em> Refresh).
</p><p>Any improvement? (More info: <a href="/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode" rel="nofollow">Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode</a>)

</p><p>I can't get any photo's to upload to Facebook no matter what size they are. The instant messenger windows don't open when I click on them. Everything works normally in the chrome browser. This is rather depressing since I have been a loyal Firefox user since version 4.0.

Did you ever fix it?

</p><p>The problem still occurs in Firefox safemode. I checked my plug-ins and was informed that Java Runtime Environment was out of date. After installing the update (see attached pic), I restarted Firefox (in both normal and safe modes). Still unable to upload images to Facebook.

</p><p>I'm using Kasperksy Inernet Security 2016 version 16.0.1.445 which is the most up-to-date version. However, it's a moot point. when I switch it off, I still cannot load photos to Facebook.
</p><p>I should add that it I am also unable to upload photos to Twitter. Again, I'm not talking about large phots. These are &lt;500kb.
</p><p>I have experimented with Internet Explorer and that works.
</p><p>It really does appear to be a problem with Mozilla Firefox. If Mozilla cannotrpovide a solution, I will seriously consider moving away from Firefox.
