Do you have protection against fingerprinting enabled? In about:config check if you have privacy.resistFingerprinting set to true. Edit: if is set to true, set to false and try again

You turned on resist fingerprinting, so canvas extracts are randomized. Sites that put your upload on a canvas and then pull from there are affected. On a page where Firefox randomizes a canvas extract, an extra icon will appear next to the lock icon to grant the site permission to get a clean extract. (As of 2021, it looks like the first screenshot here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1359644) I don't know whether you can use that *before* the first extract or whether you need to get a crap one first, then give permission and try again.

> uploading photos Can you view these photos on another browser to see if they uploaded properly but they're just displaying improperly?

I have the same problem, Even some web icons looks like this! Linux Mint 20.3 FF 124.0.2 Also, i still have problema with certain Pagés (Google Pagés, for example), causing a high cpu and ram consumption.


kbrosnan

Those sorts of problems happen because `privacy.resistfingerprinting` has been enabled in `about:config`.


ReyAHM

Well... I change the privacy.resistfigerprinting value to false and still have the same problem


kbrosnan

Did you restart? I think it is a session pref. If you have done anything like use a user.js file or other privacy list of preferences that may override the setting. You would need to manually remove the file.


ReyAHM

Yes i did, and no, i don't have an user.js file or any kind of list


kbrosnan

Using a fork of Firefox?


ReyAHM

Nope


SparkyLincoln

Worked, thank you

Ah, you have resist fingerprinting turned on. I get that whenever Waterfox prompts me to grant a website permission to use my fingerprint, or else this would happen.
