Gmail says: "Attachment failed. This may be due to a proxy or firewall."

Photobucket says: "Image upload failed Upload failed for pic.jpg with error: File not uploaded"

Both were working before, but now are not... I'm sure it must be a pretty simple problem, I'm just not so good on the pc I suppose... Any help will be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
