 * WP Image Uploader in New Post is causing both Firefox and Chrome to crash. I 
   have tried it several times and it has failed each time.

 * Do you have Google Gears installed in Firefox? If so, disable or remove it. It’s
   no longer compatible with Firefox 3 and has been known to cause problems with
   WordPress.

 * Hi,
 * Also add this code in htaccess:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Thanks,
