Firefox vs Internet Explorer

I don't know what your problem might be, but I use Firefox every day and have no issues with it at all.

If Internet Exploder works for you, go ahead and use it.

I've been using Firefox for years, and I upload a ton of pictures here, no issues at all.

After updating Firefox, and it not working, I'm just going to use Internet Explorer any time I want to upload a picture. 

I use Firefox all the time and never had any problem before.  Who knows.

It's really not a big deal.  From listening to you fellows, I feel sure, there's something wrong with my computer.

One day when I reformat it, all will probably be ok again.

Thanks for the input.

If you're not able to upload images via Firefox, you can be 100% certain that it's something wrong at your end, and not with Firefox or the forum.

Here's an image I'm uploading now, with Firefox:

Perhaps a screenshot? when you see the error message, hold down [ALT] and hit -[PrintScreen]. This will save a copy of the screen to the windows Clipboard that you can paste into Paint or any other image editor, save it as a JPG, and post that in a reply.

You can also run FF in "safe mode" with no add-ons and see if that's it.  Many times, an add-on will screw things up.

How do you set it to "safe mode"?

Just yesterday I uninstalled Firefox. I only used it to host my Photobucket account but I got sick and tired of filling out "Mozilla crash reports". And never getting anything done in Photobucket.

i have a feeling you have a software conflict in your computer.  i have two different photo-editing programs i use and if one is open, the other will open, but will crash when i go to close it.  can't explain why, and don't really care; just a quirk i've learned to live with.

when people ask, i usually recommend Firefox, but in your case, there is something going on and if IE works for you, then i guess you can live with it.  but as others have said, there is nothing inherently wrong with Firefox used for this forum.

good luck...gary

For some reason Firefox suddenly started crashing on my family's computers and wouldn't even let itself be uninstalled without a fight due to some glitch. This was right around the time Google Chrome was taking over and IMO it's the superior browser by far.

I've run both FF & IE on various laptops and pc's in our house and IE has by far lesser issues than FF.  Perhaps it's an issue with Comcast.

If you don't mind Google tracking your every move on the internet, then go for it...use Chrome.

I'm not ready to give up my privacy just to line the pockets of a pencil-necked geek who  thinks his customers are...well...I can't repeat what he said here.
