Since 20/09/10 I can not attach a file to an email - the following message appears:

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: chrome://global/content/bindings/general.xml:0

Assuming that this is a Java issue, I've entered I have the latest version of the software, all Thunderbird updates are up-to-date.

Please help - I use TBird for business and can't afford to be unable to attach files!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click 'Write'
2. Click 'Attach' 
3. Wait

OR

1 Click 'Write'
2 Enter email address/title/contents
3 Click 'Add Attachment' (bottom button bar
4 Wait
Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Opened the Attach file dialogue box

Default theme applied - everything was working normally up to and included Sunday 19/09/10.  Stopped working on Monday 20/09/10.
Am using 64-bit version of Windows Vista - think that there may have been an update on Sunday but can't remember...

Did vista pdates occur that day?  Windows UPdate|View update history

Do you also get this error if you drag and drop a file into compose?

Does it occur with thunderbird started in safe mode?

Do you ever attach from a network drive that might be down currently? You might try using the config editor (tools menu, options, advanced, general tab, config editor button, and type mail.compose.attach.dir, and reset that pref if it's pointing at a directory that might not be accessible.

Same error on XP, all updates applied, etc.  Can work around by typing "attached" in the body of the email, then clicking the "Add Attachment" button at the bottom works.

I think this has been reported before, but I am having the same problem on both xp and win7 32 bit machines.  One machine has alot of addons, so I figured there may be a conflict.  However, the win7 machine only has lightning,.vcs loaded at the moment.
