Ditto here, disabling gears fixed it. Thanks the gods and all the people who contribute to this forum, I have been messing with this issue for several hours, next time I’ll check here sooner!

Working OK until today, then started crashing. Now everything very slow with gears non functional
-
Disabling Gears and clearing cache does not stop Firefox from crashing whenever I try and upload
-
Some have reported that. Go to tools > addons and uninstall Gears. Others have reported that they have had to do that in order to get it to quit crashing.
-
Have had a further attempt and disabled gear, but why should it start happening now.
problem appears solved for present
-
Yes its works like a charm, I only disabled the Gears and its work, now start blogging….
-
I was having the same problem with FF 3.0.10. Disabled Gears and it seems to have fixed it.

Disabled . . . runs great. So, are we going to get another update on FF3 or what? Amazing something with Google doesn’t work . . . lol. It seems there is a little dependency of FF3 on Google. Maybe we should all switch to “””Blogger.””” LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Oh wait, we might get accidentally disabled as a spam-blog. Matt

Just leaving a note to let you know I had the exact same problem – FF 3.0.10, Vista Home Premium. Disabling Gears worked! I think I’ll just leave it disabled; never really noticed a difference anyway.
-
I had to uninstall Gears in FF 3.0.10 in order to get it to work (had installed them but never enabled them on my blog).
-
Thank you for the fix! This problem started for me out of the blue yesterday (though I’ve had Gears for a while and never had upload problems before). Disabling Gears fixed it.

Image uploader is still not working properly. Uploading a single image now goes straight into ‘gallery’ — where it gets stuck in a dead loop and nothing appears in the post. I think this is more than a ‘gears’ problem….
-
I started having this problem when everyone else did, in Firefox 3.0.10. I’d click on Media Uploader and bam, it would kill Firefox. I have also disabled Gears and it’s working fine for me. Just as another data point!

tried everything said here, still on posts and pages when i click media upload button firefox crashes.
-
Did you restart your browser after disabling gears? If not restart.
Some have said they had to completely uninstall gears. Go to tools > addons and find gears and click the uninstall button and then restart your browser.

Hi. I’m the Gears developer that broke WordPress+Gears for Firefox on Windows (Firefox on Linux, and other browsers on Windows should be unaffected) when we released a Gears update last week. The Gears bug is being tracked at http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=881 and a fix should be rolled out shortly.
Sorry for the crashes.
