Is anyone aware of problems between Firefox 4 and uploading media on Wordpress 3.1.1? I'm getting errors since upgrading to FF 4.

Getting error message: The uploaded file could not be moved to D:\Inetpub\vhosts\gwfrt.com\httpdocs/wp-content/uploads.

Laptop: IBM ThinkPad.

Hasn't happened before. Started after upgrading to FF4. Using WP 3.1.1.

I'm not a programmer or website whiz--I just maintain this site.

The error message is odd the way it switches from backslashes to forward slashes. That doesn't seem right.

I have a WordPress 3.1.2 installation on a Linux server. In HTML view, I uploaded and inserted a new piece of media (GIF file from the hard drive) using Firefox 4.0.1. No problem. This is with the default theme and no special plugins. I looked briefly at the WordPress forums and didn't see anything useful.

I'm not sure what to suggest next, but I can't help thinking that path name is a problem.
