Unable to attach images using the screenshot applet in Firefox
Symptoms
When attaching an image using the screenshot applet in Firefox, users are directed to the attachment page but no image is attached. The Java Console in Firefox contains the text of a HTML page with a permissions error. Attaching images directly as files works correctly.
