  I’ve noticed that the send to editor function is a little funky sometimes in Firefox. I’ve found that if I upload the pic and then NOT insert it at that moment, but click on the browse all button, locate the image and click on it that all the options are there. I can then click on the send to editor button and insert it.

  Hmmm, some other folks have been reporting dodgy happenings with the most recent update to Firefox for Windows. I haven’t had any problems with the Mac version.

  Try thesacredpath’s work around if it happens again :-)

  Yeah, I don’t know about Window either for sure. I have two PC laptops for my test equipment and consulting stuff, but never use them for blogging.

  I Installed lastest wp today.
  and had same problem with IE6(Win XP).
  upload image fine. ‘Send to Editor’ not working.

  after some googling I found fix in below link.

  here comes shortcut.
  * open ‘wp-admin/js/upload.js’
  * find ‘win = top;’ and replace it with ‘win = parent;’

  now it work’s fine. :)

  ff4500 – you have a self-hosted blog. We are using a different platform here so what you suggest would not work.

  FYI, ff4500’s post worked for me. I was having the exact same issue of the “Send to Editor” button not doing anything when clicking on it.
