Panoramic photos work in mbile app, but not on desktop.

I upload three iPhone photos to a Facebook album today, limiting the audience to me only. One was a panoramic photo, the other two were regular pics. When I shared the album as a public post, the pano photo got converted to a static picture, cropped to show only the center section.

Next I tried uploading the pano photo by itself to FB. It was displayed as an ultrawide (vertically short), static photo, and would not perform as I remembered pano photos doing in the past. Later, I tried again in FFx on iPhone, clicked on the photo to display it and again to enlarge it and this time the pano worked but with very poor resolution.

In desktop Ffx the phooto in the same post displays only as an ultrawide static photo.

Am I expecting too much, or is something wrong in Firefox? Thanks.

MacBook Pro OS Sonoma v 14.1; FFx v 119.0.1.

Sorry for the typos. Long day.

Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.

Sorry, I was mistaken: It does not work in the mobile app. I am just seeing an illusion of a pano view of the enlarged wide photo. That's why the resolution is poor.
