I updated my firefox and now I can't upload my photos from my SD card. I can open picasa web albums but when I click on upload, a message comes up saying that firefox is blocking a popup. If I click upload again, it says it is blocking 2 popups, etc. I have tried the popup solution that comes up at the end of the popup notice. I tried updating picasa, in case it was a picasa problem. I've tried my internet firewall settings. Everything seems to be set so that picasa gets through. Help! I do a blog that is getting behind waiting on photos!

You said you tried the recommended solution, but didn't mention what that solution was. Try, from the Firefox menu bar: 

    Tools -> Options -> Content

where you will find an option to block pop-up windows. If that box is checked but there are sites from which you would like to allow pop-up, click the button "Exceptions..." to add sites to your exception list.
