Unable to post Facebook picture comments only. Can post to main page.
Noticed after a FireFox update I am unable to post picture comments to others posts on Facebook. GIFs and emojis are fine. Tried resetting Firefox and deleting extensions. No change. Restarted computer. No change. Can, however, post pics on other browsers like Chrome. Using updated Mac OS Catalina.
No ideas what else to try.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a blueish highlighted shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check in the Web Console what content is blocked.
- "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
Frustrating. I'm on Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit Feature update 2004. Same problem with version 1909. The problem persists in Firefox Safe mode. Plus, I just renewed Firefox and tested, still no change. So I have now re-installed my extensions: Facebook container, NoScript, ublock Origin. I am attaching a small screen capture so we can be sure what we are talking about. Clicking or double click on the camera icon does not function.
It all works in Microsoft Edge, though.
Update: Obviously this is specific to this one computer. For example, in my shop I have another PC running Windows 10 with Firefox and it works correctly there. Since the problem is rare and probably related to the Windows configuration, I'm probably screwed. Good luck getting Microsoft to help out, right?

I have the same issue. Same specs on my computer O/S. It did not happen before this update. Only affects Firefox. Works in Chrome. I have done everything suggested. Still unresolved. Happened after latest Windows Feature update to 2004.
How do I put Chrome on my computer?
