Problems uploading files to websites using Firefox with Windows 7
Since I upgraded to Windows 7, whenever I try to upload a file to a website (like facebook), the application freezes as soon as I hit the "Browse" button to select a file. I'm using Firefox ver. 3.6. This function will work with IE 8 if I reboot the machine. It will not work with IE if I try it after I have had the failure with Firefox. Appreciate any suggestion anyone can offer. Computer is a Dell Inspiron 530S that came with VISTA and was recently upgraded to Windows 7.

Hi,
This issue can be caused by third party application or add-ons.
To troubleshoot it, update device driver to latest version first.
Also test it in Clean Boot mode.
If the issue persists, Use the following tool to remove third party shell extension:
