    Hey guys, ive been having trouble uploading a pdf file to an email. It basically gets to around 75% loaded then freezes for a couple minutes then finally it will give me an error saying Attachment failed.

    I tried updating flash, I looked in the gmail setting but didnt find anything that looked like it could be the problem. Have any of you ever had any problems like this before? If so please give me some ideas to solve this problem cuz its really a pain in the neck. Thanks in advance.

    Try another Firefox profile to see if it's a setting problem. In Start -> Run type "firefox.exe -p" and create a new profile. If you're able to upload it in that profile, something got adjusted that shouldn't have been, and you should do a reset on your default profile by going to "about:support" in the URL bar. Make sure you don't accidentally erase your main profile as you're playing around.
