Ok, ive tried disabling all add-on's n do this but it still happens, had to install chrome to make my other BSOD post to attach the file as it kept closing my ff.

When i select file to upload & it goes into the bottom box selected to attach, i click on Done & my FF exits. When i open it back up i get no recover last session which i normally get when it crash's on me.

I have no idea why its doing this & i've only just experienced it & it happens every time i click done after selecting the file i want to attach to make a post on here.

It sounds like you are using the onsite attachment utility, so after you select the file, are you selecting Upload, then done? I suppose if it works in Chrome you are using the correct procedure.

Is this a specific type of file and have you tried a simple text upload? Any error messages in the Event Viewer?
