Are there any error messages in the error console which appear when you attempt to upload your profile photo?

Yes.

Error: b.getBoxObjectFor is not a function

getBoxObjectFor was removed in bug 340571. It appears getBoundingClientRect is the better solution.

The MDC page https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.getBoxObjectFor doesn't mention getBoxObjectFor was deprecated/removed.

Do we have any google/orkut contacts that could get this fixed?

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Now labeled as obsolete, with a link to the getBoundingClientRect() method.

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

I sent a ping to google folks with bob cced.
