https://p3nlsccweb.secureserver.net/filemanager/?acct=xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx&pl=1&prog_id=GoDaddy&app=filemanager&cicode=72827&accountUID=xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxx

(dont want to include all my account numbers)

a simple refresh of the window makes the problem go away.

Is it possible to test without being a client of GoDaddy? (free access)

In addition, could you test with a fresh profile, please.

Ward, please answer to comment 3.

In addition, you could also try running in Safe mode, to see if the issue is still reproducible: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

Safe mode! That was fun....


But same issue.

Though I tried it on a few other sites that feature an upload file situation and not a problem. ( just a go-daddy situation so far)

Not sure what you mean by `fresh profile` 

I`ll try on another computer later.
A fresh profile is also known as a clean or vanilla profile (without add-ons, bookmarks, history, etc.). Here you can see details: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
That solved it. (but I do like my add ons and bookmarks)
Maybe browser cache or cookies issues.
