    Just recently, there was a problem with the whole damn web.

    What problems exactly ? Mine is working totally fine.
    You should mention FireFox version, android version, what are you trying to do, what happens when you do it.

      My firefox browser has become slow beyond imagination.

      No problems here.

      Moreover, it’s not fetching images for lemmy directly from my folders.

      I don’t know what this means. You mean that you can’t browse through your images to upload something?

      You mean that it’s not using its local disk cache for images? I guess that could make a browser slower, but that seems like odd phrasing if that’s what you’re saying…

        It’s actually an Android thing. In order to improve security, they restricted that kind of access some versions back. Browsers can’t browse local files, images, videos, gifs or whatever willy-nilly.

          I’m able to do so in Firefox Fennec 138.0.0.

          It didn’t do it by default, but it looks like if you grant Camera permission (Settings:Apps:App Management:Fennec:Permissions), at least “Ask Every Time”, then when I choose an image to upload I use “Media Picker”, then the three dot menu, then Browse, then my file manager app, I can browse the filesystem.

          If the Camera permission is set to “Don’t Allow”, then the three dot menu is not present.

          I normally just use the Eternity client for lemmy, rather than Firefox Fennec, though.

          Your browser still has a disk cache, which will write to the phone’s SSD.

          You can view it via going to about:cache in your URL bar.

          But it sounds like that’s not what you were referring to.
