Can't add an attachement to an email in Yahoo mail using Firefox. Works using Microsoft Edge

I am using Windows 10. Recently I have not been able to attach files larger than about 300KB to emails being sent in Yahoo Mail using Firefox. I was not a problem until the last week or so. I can send much larger files through through Yahoo Mail if I use Microsoft Edge. I would prefer to use Firefox. From the support forum, I found a suggested solution using about:preferences in the address bar, but I don't get anything like what they are suggesting I should see on the screen.

Sorry, guess I wasn't too clear. I know how to attach files, but when I try to attach anything but a trivial file, I get an error message about lost internet connection, which isn't lost, and the file does not attach. If I go to Edge, the same file attaches with no problem. Seems to be some kind of problem between Firefox and yahoo mail.
