I am no longer able to add attachments to gmail or upload images or attachments to websites. When I click on the attachment icon or upload button, my finder window does not open. However, it works in other browsers. How can I fix this?

Did you tried Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search

Does the file dialog eventually appear if you wait long enough? It can be slowed down by third-party software (shell extensions), network drives and recently used files.

Do you happen to use the Windows On-Screen Keyboard (OSK)?
