Maybe the latest firefox (2.0.0.14) fixes this? Try to disable your
extensions in tools -> addons as extensions regularly contribute to
instability.

 affects ubuntu/firefox
 status incomplete

does this happen in firefox 3 in hardy still?

 affects ubuntu/firefox-3.0

I also have this prroblem as well. It not only affects gutsy but also hardy.

Hopefully this problem gets resolved as soon as possible. I have photos to upload onto friendster too.

Since it's been a very long time since any additional info was added to this bug, I'm just checking to see if this is still an issue, and find out what additional work should be done on this bug.

We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I have tried on the new version of firefox (Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121622 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.5)

I tried to upload some 6 photos. All 6 photos were uploaded successfully; but, the firefox remained unresponsive. This might tempt the user to force kill the application and internally abrupt-ing the upload process

i have the same prob.

firefox 2.0 no longer supported

I am unable to reproduce on any site, i didnt try webshots.com but this sounds like a site problem not firefox problem. Please report a broken website using firefox help>report a broken site in the menus. closing bug due to it not being firefox that causes the problem.
