NonfreeKernelModules: wl
Package: firefox-3.0 3.0.14+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1
ProcEnviron:

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Sometimes Firefox profiles can become corrupt and/or extensions can conflict. Could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If this helps, you might want to try to disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one.

You can start the profile manager with the following command:
firefox -ProfileManager

Tried all these steps. Still attaching files in yahoo mail in firefox (ubuntu 9.04) doesn't work.
It used to work with yahoo beta but doesn't work with all new yahoo.
It always works with yahoo classic.

@shivhari

This worked for me from a clean profile. I tried this under The All New Yahoo Mail.

Never run firefox with sudo. This causes many problems.

Firefox should be run as your normal user. If you have run firefox as
sudo previously, you'll need to fix your mozilla dir by running:

sudo chown -R USER:USER ~/.mozilla

Replace USER with your username.

[Dharmesh Patadiya (dmp-mech)]

I can not attach file in yahoo mail. I am using ubuntu 10.04. The file can be attached easily on yahoo mail classic but can not attach on new yahoo mail beta. It was attaching previously but started problem from 1 months.

[Dharmesh Patadiya (dmp-mech)]

The new yahoo mail works good in other computer with other browser like crome, etc in windows system. Even in firefox in windows also works. But in ubuntu firefox, crome what, opera no one is attaching files in new yahoo mail beta.
