Can you give us the version number, just to be sure? Also, do you have Firefox extensions installed? Any recently?
I just installed a new version yesterday. 3.0.10 What happens when you click on the paperclip to attach files in the compose new message page? For me a file chooser window pops up. Do you get anything at all? I get the browse. I choose a file to upload. It acts as if it loads instantaneously, unless I start the computer with Firefox & then go to gmail, then it works & shows a progress bar. > I have disabled the new way of loading files in Gmail, but that does > not > help.

Can you tell me how you disabled "the new way of loading files"? I didn't know there was one, but I don't use Gmail so I wouldn't know. I am guessing the new way is Flash or Java? Yes, the new way uses Java. It does not work either way. Ah, in settings I see "Advanced attachment features" which says it needs Flash. I have that selected yet it asked me for a file upload rather than showing me a Flash uploader. The help page (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=1145 90 ) says that the Flash uploader is used once I select multiple files, so that makes sense. Do you get to that point? Right. It works that way with one of the other browsers. I can "attach" several files, but they do not really attach. > Also, if I past a chunk of text, say a paragraph, into Gmail, it hangs > rather than sending the message. I have not tried this in Yahoo. Do let us know which exact version of Firefox you are using, and also if you are using any Firefox extensions (add-ons). Has anything changed recently in your environment? I don't know of anything new. I am using the chat extension, but it did not work before I used it. Also, I can load gmail in the safe mode & it still does not work. The XULElement error you reported is probably not significant. XUL is how Firefox's own UI is built (sorta) and you often see a bunch of such messages for most sites. But I may be wrong on this one. I doubt that you are wrong. --ravi _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 530 898 5321 fax 530 898 5901 http://michaelperelman.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
