When I upload ANYTHING on FIrefox... no matter what it is, video, image, any file or folder... it uploads Exactly double the filesize so this means I am waiting 2 times longer than I should.

On a basic way to put it. Firefox uploads a file that is 40MB but it actually uploads 80MB, but the file is still 40MB online even after download.. so I need to know why it uploads double size of everything?

What type of files? Do those files open properly?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
