Hello!

I much prefer Firefox to safari! I have an imac and I also use gmail. I tried to send an attachment document from my computer while I was in Firefox from Gmail. It would not do it and I could not close gmail nor close Firefox to try to start over. Tried this 2x. Force Quit and everything. I then started up in Safari and all went well. Is Firefox somehow less compatible with Google and gmail and Apple then Safari? I am assuming Apple and Google are separate companies but sometimes one wonders?? So what can I do to make a smooth attachment from my Imac to gmail attachment in Firefox? I really prefer Firefox it loads better and less spinning wheel. I think a lot of people agree with me. Please help!! We must have alternatives to Safari and Firefox is the best as far as I know...

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).

To Enable SafeMode

  • You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

FirefoxSafeMode

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode" Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
