[bug] firefox crash when uploading mod

Post by binbinhfr »

Hi,

Since a few days, when I try to upload a new version of my mods, clicking on the "Select a zipped mod to upload" button result in an instant crash of Firefox (latest version 58.0.2 x64). I do not even see the file selection menu. I do not have the problem with Chrome. Does anyone has an explanation ?

the problem dissapeared, and it's happening again today...
firefox crashes as soon as I click on "Select a zipped mod to upload" ...
Am I the only one having this problem ?

I'm on the same version of Firefox and I haven't had any issues. Well, if I take too much time writing / updating the description then the website throws an "Access Denied" error and I need to reload the page, but it's not a total crash.

You encountered a Firefox bug, maybe your installation is corrupted.

Yes, tx for your help.
Indead the problem appears as soon as firefox tries to open a file browser...
But I did not find the solution. (reinstalled firefox, run it fresh, update java and flash....)
Do you have ideas ?

Not without crash logs. Not actually sure where Firefox logs to, probably best to go through their support? As I said it's working fine for me so it's not a problem with the website.

Yes tx, I made a report on their support site, but no answers yet... Anyway we can close this subject here.
