When I click the photo/video button to upload a photo on Facebook my photos do not appear when using my Mac. This is an issue only on Firefox. I do not have this issue when using Safari. I previously unintentionally blocked Firefox access to my photos and do not know how to undo this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So do you recall what it said when this happened?

Firefox would normally show a notch on the Control Center 'i' icon when you have made changes to the permissions. If you click the Control Center 'i' icon then you see the permission changes listed with a button to remove (reset) this permission.

See also the "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions" page.

If you don't find a setting for this in Firefox -- Windows users don't know all the special preferences mac users see -- try your system settings here:

Apple menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy

Somewhere in there, Mojave records permissions of different apps, at least that's what I saw an an article.

Is this about Firefox on the mobile platform?
