TB crashes with trying to attach files or pictures
I'm running Windows 8.1, TB 24.6.0,
TB often crashes when I attempt to attach files or pictures to an email. I noticed that it happens when browsing for the attachment file (or picture) in folders into which files are displayed in thumbnail and not so if showing only the file name (no thumbnails). Do you know if this has been reported or fixed?
Thanks, Mip

Do you have a crash ID? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Mozilla-Crash-Reporter#w_viewing-crash-reports

I located this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=802825 which indicates there is a third element.
Some have apparently been helped by updating their flash software.
You say Thumbnails, these often use third party DLL files to display them or generate them. Is there a specific file type in the crashing folders that is not in others, like PDF or word or some other application entirely. As the DLL has unloaded before the crash report is generated the devs are looking for a common link. Currently anti virus programs are suspect (scanning the files that are accessed to generate the thumbnails. But any observations you can offer would help here I think.
Hi! Matt, Thanks for your comments, not sure if this has an effect, shortly after purchasing my lap top, I've installed ClassicShellSetup_4_0_4. so that my desktop emulates Windows 7 as opposed to Windows 8.1. This may have an effect on how windows displays files and folders or could it?
I will check my Flash software to see if it's up to date (assuming your referring to Adobe Flash or Shockwave Flash?).
In my crashing folder, other than jpg, pdf, docx, I also a few htm files along with 42 other folders.
As mentioned the crashes happens when trying to attach a file to an email when files are displayed as "Medium icons" (I referred to as Thumbnail in my previous post). Thanks
Check all your plugins. Tools menu > Add-ons and select the Plugins on the left click the check to see if plugins are up to date link at the top of the list.
Just to try and work out what is happening.
Create a new folder and lace a text file in it (TXT) does attaching that crash Thunderbird.
