can't upload attachments or images to email; firefox: "not responding"
When I try to include an attachment or insert an image into my Comcast email, the "spinning-circle-of-eternity" continuously spins and freezes all open tabs. I cannot access them. An uppermost bar opens up indicating that firefox is not responding. All I can do is minimize the page and/or restart the pc from what used to be the "start" button. This is fairly recent, and I wonder if it's from the most recent upgrade, or a known issue.
