When I am sending an email in fire fox I am unable to attach a file. When I click the button,nothing happens. I am able to attach files when I use a browser other than fire fox.

Can you tell me why this happens only in fire fox.

I heard you the first time.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.

If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". We might have an answer for you if we knew which web mail service provider this problem is with. Or, you could seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

What are you using in Firefox to do email? Yahoo!Mail, AOL mail, Gmail ??
