When I upload a picture, it just doesn't do anything. The loading meter keeps loading. I've tried: uploading extremely small size pictures too and clearing all the cookies, cache, everything.

Furthermore, when I open WordPress, it shows the weird HTML format. I cannot check my stats or do anything in it. Rest all the websites I open are working fine.

I have tried removing ALL data like cookies and cache since forever but still it doesn't help. Is there something wrong with Firefox?

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).

(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item:
FirefoxSafeMode

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode" Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Thank you.

It is possible that anti-virus software is blocking uploading files, so you can check if it svans files before allowing the upload.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
