Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

in safe mode I get chat icon but not compose I do not want chat

[DanRaisch]

I have no idea what that means. Are you saying that you aren't able to open a compose window in Safe Mode?

[Suze]

I am now able to get compose
my major question is how do I send a picture that is on my desktop

I am able to drag it to the compose area of email but when it is sent it is not there

Have never tried to drag/drop into a message composition window. Have always loaded into an image editor (usually Irfanview) and copy/pasted from there. This way I can reduce the image size if necessary and reduce the color density (256 colors is plenty for most email use) to reduce the size of the embedded image code.

exactly what I do but in the new version of Tbirdcan't drag & drop or copy & paste need to attach but don't know how

[DanRaisch]

What is the file size of the image you are trying to send in an email?
As drag and drop is not working for you, have you tried menu path Insert->Image?

Hi Suze,
At the top of the Compose screen, there should be > Send, Contacts & an "Attach" button.
Select your file/photo using the Attach button & Win Explorer.

As an alternative you could use Insert > Image from the composition windows menu bar, or Attach from the Composition Toolbar.

FWIW drag and drop works for me when dragging an image from my file manager.

I have tried all but no luck I HAVE NO ATTACH BUTTON

[DanRaisch]

Do you have the Composition toolbar activated? In the compose window, try menu path View->Toolbars->Composition toolbar.

when I opened the compose page there ahha! there was the attach button
I just don't understand how it magically appeared up after trying to get it all day

when they changed from drag & drop to attachments only why cant they inform us and give us hint as to how to get it to work Funny thing is I have no idea as to how I got it

anyhow thanks so much for all your help Dan and everyone else who tried to solve my problem

[DanRaisch]

You're welcome.

They didn't change it.
