Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi!

I cannot upload anything to anywhere. Hotmail, gmail, googledocs, nothing. My system works perfectly, but as soon as i click the browse in case of any attaching or uploading process, the Upload File window opens, but thats it, it freezes, I cannot select anything and I can only turn the notebook off by button.

It happens also with other browsers, Opera, or Firef 2.

I tried to change my nautilus to thunar as default file manager, but this did not help either.

My net connection and everything is fine. Pidgin working.

What should I do? I would be glad to get to know the reason.
Thanks in forward

Plus ... every software freezes. fore example openoffice, when trying to import picture or anything. seems there is a system-wide problem. I reinstalled ubuntu, but did not expect this...

In my confusion I installed the 64 bit version of ibex, downloaded only important updates, everything worked fine, but now, after an hour it again starts to freeze...what am I doing wrong? or my hardware is wrong?
Again, right now, under this box the attachment box is grey as in other cases...

It works only the first time. Let's say that you want to send two attachments in an email or one in two different emails, the first time would be ok, then that's it. No further chance. If you cancel the first time, you have no second chance neither. The browse / select / upload file button freezes, but not the applications. I experienced it on Firefox while using my corporate webmail and with Wordpress. The good news: Yahoo Mail is the exception and ok. That's the bypass I have to use while sending files and I don't want to restart the whole machine... It is pretty annoying. For Wordpress, it requires me to start a ftp session for uploading the files I need to post.
