Win 10. Wouldn't perform attach function, so upgraded to FF 49. Reboot. Nothing. Not sure if this is a Microsoft Outlook email problem so asking both places.

Get message can't attach file at this time, try later. (file on my computer, .pdf file) followed all the MS troubleshooting including installing Silverlight. Still won't work.

I was able to email with attachments prior to today in Outlook.com.

Any suggestions?

I don't think this is a Firefox problem. It works for me. (With windows 10 on Firefox 49)

Thanks. I'm on Win 10 and wouldn't work on last version of FF, nor with FF 49, or with a reboot. Microsoft said to download silverlight, but that didn't do anything.

Windows updated yesterday during a reboot, so I don't know if that caused the problem or not. Never had any issues with attachments before. I'll keep trying.
