Using Thunderbird Version 102.14.0 (32-bit) When sending an email with an attachment, I can't get T-bird to browse to my Downloads Folder. This is a Win-10 installation. If I drag and drop from the Download Folder, no problem. But if I try by browsing, T-bird hangs and I have to abruptly close the program. Sometimes I have to reboot my PC. Thanks for any wisdom.

Thanks. It doesn't happen all the time. And it fixed itself already.

Sounds to me like some sort of security software kicking in. But I can not replicate the issue on Windows 11.
