When I go to upload an image like a jpeg image, the screen that pops up where I find the files to upload just partially loads and freezes up. When I click anywhere on it, I get "Firefox not responding" and have to abort Firefox altogether. The latest version I had was 3.16 I think just before going to version 4. It worked fine on the program I was uploading images to. Please help.

I have same problem, but it is not only for .jpg files; every time File Upload dialog box popup, it always got "Firefox not responding" on File Upload dialog title bar. No choice, but closed application; however, IE works fine. OS is windows 7. Please advise. Thanks.  :-)

Yeah, my earlier version of Firefox worked OK. I like the new layout however.
