I just uploaded last week to 4 different agencies with no problems. Where are you trying to upload to...maybe it's them, not you?

Firefox 6.02 works well for me.  I do find much less problems using PCLinuxOS.  I'm sure windows with a firewall, anti virus and anti spyware has some glitches but it's probably not due to Firefox.

Make sure all the programs on your computer are up to date, I did have a problem with an old version of java once.  Linux is easy to update but keeping track of all the programs I use with windows is hard.  I just wish some of the programs I use regularly were available with linux, then I would ditch windows.

Why is it always that if you update something, it doesn't work anymore? I think this is a major problem with updates ;) I'm even scared to do them! I'm lucky that I don't have problems with my Firefox lately, except for some difficulties with the Java applications, but I think this is Java's thought and not the firefox... (but it's annoying anyway)

The problem with Firefox is that it always was (and still is) a voracious memory eater. What got better are the leaks and the fact that all processes and caches are released when you close it. In the previous version you had to kill FF in the task manager to release that heap of memory.
I still like FF for the ad-blocking plug in. The MSG looks clean in FF, but in IE (without ad-blocker) it looks like a badly rigged up Xmas tree with flickering loud banners all over, even in between messages. Many sites are like that, so FF stays my standard browser while I only use IE, Chrome and Opera (on PC) to test out my web-programming.

Funny and very true. Gotta love FF's ad blocker capabilities!

Sites load so much faster and you can actually navigate properly without all the ads ripping the sites into pieces.
