I am not to sure how to ask this question, but I frequent the message board that I used to have the ability to use a bulk picture up loader, but since the upgrade to #56 I don't seem to have that ability any more. I can only upload one picture at a time.

The people who run the page have told me that I should have never been able to use a bulk up-loader and that it is a Mozilla issue, not a webpage issue.

If it's not a built-in feature of their site, perhaps it was something an add-on enabled you to do by modifying the code int the page? The screenshots in your first post on the forum require an account to view. Do they contain any indication of an add-on being involved?

The comments on that forum page seem to indicate that this feature used the Shockwave Flash plugin and that this might no longer work in current Firefox releases.

Is there a Lego block icon on the Navigation Toolbar or was it there when this feature was working?

You can also try to uninstall Adblock Plus to see if that has effect (disabling might have no effect).

You can look at uBlock Origin as a replacement for Adblock Plus to see if that works better.

I don't believe that there is/was an add-on involved. Yes one needs to be logged in, I could post the same pics here if that would help, but all it shows is the pop up for the selection of the pic file to load.

This bulk picture feature has always worked for me, since I fist logged in years ago, when I had a desk top that ran XP and my lap top that ran Vista, and also when I used IE as my explorer. I now have a desk top and lap top the both run 7, I switched to Mozilla (years ago) to be able to log onto the board as IE would not let me log into the page. This bulk load feature worked fine until the last update of Mozilla.

I did the adblock removal, the bulk feature was not there either way, so I don't think that was the issue? but I will try the ublock and see what happens.

They did mention that this pic upload feature does work in flash, and yes it has stopped working since the the new upgrade from Mozilla. I did update my Adobe flash player, no change.

I am not sure what you mean by "lego block on navigation toolbar"..

..I know that on the tabs to "post a reply" has a tab on top of that to be able to 'block this object"..

..there was the small tab on top of "upload a file" before the recent upgrade from Mozilla, but that is no longer there..

The Lego block icon is the plugin icon that show in the screenshot as a gray block with a green dot. You can click this icon to see what it is about.

Thanks for the help!!

..I did some research on this and from what you said about flash being on or off, I went thru "tools" and then "add-ons" and then "plugins" and then switched it to "always active" (see below) I am guessing that on the recent Mozilla update that this changed somehow, because the bulk up-loader is the only option that I get again now..
