FIREFOX crashes when trying to attach files to email
When using Mozilla Firefox for Gmail (and Startmail), when clicking on file icon to ADD a file to the email, it brings up file window, but then freezes, crashes. Ironically enough it works with yahoo.
It used to work fine if I just dragged the file into the email, but now that isn't working either. Never fully loads the file. So then the spinning wheel of death comes, then I have to quit firefox and then crash report comes every time and asks for me to restore the tabs if i want. It's a major pain.
I tried with IE and it works just fine, so it's definitely Firefox.
I have the latest version of Firefox for MAC
Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F1603) Processor 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

The only way I can get a screenshot is if I simulate the spinning wheel of death and get it to freeze up by attempting to click the file button on gmail/yahoo or another online email, and try to go find a file to upload...then it begins spinning...and only way out is to hit command option esc (and physically stop the process of Firefox, which always says "Firefox not responding" Then a crash report comes up, and I send it every time.
