My files seem to load ok and then I get an error message saying can't attach files and they disappear. Started happening about 18Dec15. Been using MF for a couple of years.

I use Mozilla Firefox to run my hotmail.com account

The files uploaded via Chrome and IE are fine, including 16Mb files

Please tell me how to sort it.
