Whenever I try to attach a document to an e-mail in Gmail FireFox Crashes. I've started FireFox in Safe Mode and it still crashes. I'm at my wits end. This has been happening since I upgraded to Windows 10. Any help or suggestions? This only happens in Firefox. Attaching works in Chrome and Edge. I have a Dell Insprion 580

That does seem to work. I can use that work around for now, but would like a solution for this issue if possible.

could you think of anything that would set your configuration apart in regards to that "Open file dialog": any third party plugins that hook into explorer to enhance it, any strange network locations as default folders, etc...

unfortunately this kind of crash is very rare (32 occurrences in the past year - out of many hundreds of millions of crashes), so it probably wouldn't be on top of the agenda to fix for mozilla's developers. however if you are able to reproduce the issue reliably you could file a bug for it at bugzilla.mozilla.org
