Does anyone know why Find my iPhone doesn't work in Firefox 7.01. Everything else seems to work just fine.

Is apple or mozilla going to fix this?

*Update* I also noticed that attaching files does not work in Firefox 7.01.

Obviously, both of these things work in IE 9. Please Apple fix this. I basically can't use iCloud on the web until this is fixed. I have been using Firefox for like 10 years.

The problems I am having are unexpected since this is what apple says about browser support:

recommended browsers

Recommended browsers for accessing iCloud are:

Safari 5 (or later) on a Mac or Windows computer

Firefox 5 (or later) on a Mac or Windows computer

Internet Explorer 8 or later (on Windows)

Chrome 12 (or later) on a Mac or Windows computer

**Update 2** I can't even send email from Firefox 7.01 :(

Same problem here. Find mt Iphone crashes firefox.
It works ok on IE, but then I'd have to use IE.
 
I used FMi yesterday in FF 7.01 without any problem whatsoever. Today, it crashes. Must have been a small change they've made in the last 18 hours or so. :confused:
 
I just tried FMI this morning at work on Firefox 7.01 on Windows XP 32-bit. Last night with FMI on Windows 7 64-bit it didn't work. Maybe they fixed it?

However, I still can't send email in iCloud or attach anything to an email from iCloud with Firefox 7.01.

**Update - I can send email find from Firefox 7.01 now....but I can't attach anything to an email. :(
 
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit so that sounds like its the problem.

I also noticed the first time I used icloud on IE it prompted me to download some addons.
Firefox did not do this.
 
I just checked my home pc running Firefox 7.01 and FMI works just fine without a problem - so they must have fixed something.

However, I still can't attach an email to a new email message. I think in IE9 it prompted to allow and addin for this to function. This didn't happen in Firefox >.<.
 
Well today is the 22st of October and although the last poster says the "Find My iPhone" worked fine in Firefox 7.0.1 on Oct 13th, it's crashing the same version of Firefox on my system today. Sooo, does anyone know what's really going on here? Thanks.
 
I read somewhere else that if you don't tick "keep me signed in" when you sign in to icloud it should work. Something to do with bad cookies.
