I've been unable to attach documents to my e-mails for the past week, yet I can with IE.

I use Firefox 20.0.1 and Yahoo Mail through AT&T. For the past month, I've been unable to attach documents to my e-mails whether I use the the "Attach" button at the bottom of my mail, or the button at the top. But, here's the rub: when I use IE version 9 with Yahoo, I am able to attach. It would seem to me to be a browser problem. What do you think?

Does that uploader use a plugin like Silverlight or Flash?

Note that Firefox Safe Mode doesn't affect plugins.

  • preferences are not affected

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
