This message i've got using http://xs.to
But i get similar message from all sites that uses an upload form. I cannot
upload images anymore. When i use opera or iexplore it works.
I've got the same problem couple of weeks ago. The problem solved when firefox
1.0.1 arrived.
I've tried to reinstal over and over agait the 1.0 version. The problem was
still there. When i've updated firefox with the new version everything was ok,
until now.
Today i was uploading some pitures on my site (www.badorgood.com) and after 3
succesfull uploads i've got the message: something like " The file u are trying
to upload isn't an jpg". Ofcourse it was a jpeg image. I realised that the
problem reocured ( apeared again).

Reproducible: Always

That' s seem to be  Firefox on  and W2K or FAT systemfile who cannot work
together to upload a file.

Not sure if this is the same issue.  After upgrading from Firefox 1.0.3 to 1.0.4
with Windows XP I have problems uploading pdf files to my website.  The website
runs Plone, a CMS.  I upload to a "File" content type and the site is supposed
to detect the mime type and save it with the file.  With an upload from Firefox
it's detecting "text/unknown".  With Internet Explorer it detects
"application/pdf".  This causes all sorts of problems when the site displays it,
but that's not the issue here.

My understanding of the upload process is that the browser is supposed to
transmit this mime information, but it's getting it wrong.  Fairly sure it
wasn't happening with 1.0.3.
