I have the plugins that permit viewing of fractal images with .fif extensions. There are 2 of these. When I attempt to upload them, I get an error message that the files are corrupt. However, they are not since they are fully functional on xNVIEW. The webmaster sent them to me. How can I get Firefox to permit me to upload them to the plugin list?

If by "plugin list" you mean the plugins listed in about:plugins or in the addons window, you would not send images there. You should be able to upload them as files to whatever site you want as long as it accepts uploads.

Did you make sure that your security (anti-virus) software isn't blocking the files or otherwise is causing problems?
