Browser crashes when I try and upload a picture on twitter

I've never had this issue with Firefox until tonight, but When I'm on twitter, and I go to load up a picture (clicking the photo icon, having the pop up window, picking the image, and clicking open), as soon as the picture appears in the twitter window the entire browser crashes and I get the report it to firefox window. I've tried in safe mode, I've refreshed my browser, and I've posted the images successfully to Facebook. I even attempted trying pictures I've successfully posted prior to tonight and it's all causing the same thing.

The only thing that has changed is an update to Windows. I am not tech savy, thus I have no clue if the two are connected. If anyone can help me figure out why it's doing this, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

hi CalCrazy, i think this issue was caused by a change by twitter to their website - they have now reverted this change & firefox developers are looking into the matter as well, but hopefully things are working again by now.
