Could be that your upload timed out, there is a certain amount of time allowed for an upload to complete, so that the server doesn't get bogged down waiting to incomplete or failed uploads to finish.
There shouldn't be any issues with uploading using any moderately modern browser, be it Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera or IE. It is likely a really old error message, using IE4 would be a very bad idea.

No it was a very quick message did not even try to submit the score .. Then had to use Explorer to submit the score ..

Barry is probably saying there is a generic (legacy) error message at marp that pops up and tells you to use explorer, when it's likely the error was not because you were using firefox but that the download failed in some mannerism but with no other info about why it failed, so the generic error message assumes the browser was the problem. When likely, if you try to upload with firefox again, it might work.
