My Gmail attachment function stopped working with the latest Firefox update (Aug. 2014). Things I tried that didn't help include: 1. Re-installed the latest version. 2. Restored to my earlier version. 3. Cleared cookies.

Gmail functions just fine in IE, but I would rather stay with Firefox if I can. Any suggestions?

  1. Use ONE of these methods to open the Firefox Troubleshooting Information page:
    • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click on help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information.
    • Type about:support into the Firefox address bar and press the enter key.
  2. At the top of the Troubleshooting Information page that comes up, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
  3. Now, go back to your forum post, right-click in the reply box and select Paste from the context menu (or else click inside the reply box and press the Ctrl+V keys) to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

If you can't add attachments to Gmail messages then you need to add an allow exception to allow pop-ups for this Google website (mail.google.com). Easiest to do this is to click the padlock on the location bar and click the "More Information" button to open the "Tools > Page Info" window with the Security tab selected. Proceed to the Permissions tab Remove the tick on "Open Pop-up Windows" > "Use Default" and click the Allow radio button to change the permission to allow pop-ups for the mail.google.com domain.
