I can't attach files on Gmail for the last week. Help!
I've been trying to attach files in my Gmail account for over a week but every time I try to attach it comes back "failed". This wasn't an issue until about a week ago. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and nothing. I've had to go through IE in order to attach files. Help please!

hello suzanne, firefox has introduced a new protocol named SPDY that should make pages load faster and is used on google pages. i've seen a report by another user who had the same problem uploading attachments to gmail as long as spdy was enabled.
could you please try the following: enter about:config into the location bar & search for all preferences beginning with network.http. - in case any of them is shown in bold & therefore not on its default value please right click and reset those preferences. afterwards restart the browser and see if the problem is gone. when this did not resolve the issue or all entries were already set to their default values, please toggle network.http.spdy.enabled (again in about:config) to false by double-clicking it & restart the browser again.
in case the latter resolved the issue, could you please provide information on how you are accessing the internet (provider/ the hardware model of your router) & which security software is running on your system - maybe this information will help firefox developers to fix the underlying issue... thank you very much!
I tried the first suggestion and all of the entries were set to default, so I tried toggling network.http.spdy.enable to false and restarted browser and it works perfectly. Did you want me to provide my provider, hardware model of router and security software info on this post or is there somewhere else that I need to report it?
I have had the same problem and did the same thing as cozycountry with the same results ie all were set to default so I toggled network.http.spdy.enable to false. My provider is Comcast, my security is Trend micro internet security pro and my router is a Cisco DPC3008. Thanks
I am really having issues with firefox....slow....can't attach files on gmail.....keeps saying server not found when trying to search websites.....maybe it is best to go back to another version?????.....frustrated in kentucky
