Firefox version 97.0.1 (64 bit)
Running on Manjaro Linux

Was repeatedly failing uploading 4 files about 10 minutes long each. Just reported "Error" to the right of each filename.
Retried about 4 times.

Immediately uploaded using Opera successfully.
Then after a few minutes tried again on Firefox. Of the 4 files 3 gave an Error and one succeeded.
Next to the error it gives a file size that is a factor of 1,000 bigger than expected (i.e. 9.5 GB, not 9.5 MB).

Have seen this on two different machines with identical software configuration.

After trying to close the tab, close the browser itself and re-open. It worked for me, when i faced the same problem!
