I open an email and try to add a document or picture using the Add Attachment link but it will not open. Nothing happens when I click on it. I uninstalled Firefox and re=installed it and it still does not work. It does work on Internet Explorer.

Check your flash plugin is updated!

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.
