I updated Firefox and Java recently. Since then, now everytime I try clicking a link to an email (like on Craigslist to make email contact) nothing happens, the computer appears to think for a second and then nothing happens. The same sort of Firefox to computer connection also happens when I try to load pictures through websites like craigslist. Was working just fine until recently, now I have to open Microsoft Internet Explorer everytime I want to email an ad, or if I want to ad photo's to my own ads.

So in short it appears the online connection between firefox and my computer seems to be broke. The connection works fine still through Microsofts IE. What can i do to fix the link? Uninstall and reinstall firefox? I hope not, hopefully someones had this problem and knows where the communication breakdown is occuring?

I meant to say the connection between firefox and my computer DOESN'T happen when I try to load pictures.

It thinks and then nothing now window opens to select photos to load.
