Uploaded images are mangled in librewolf

    • Closed Issue created by First Last @alphanumeric-characters

    What happened? (Please give us a brief description of what happened.)

    Uploading images in librewolf causes them to become mangled. It seems to only happen in Sharkey. I tried uploading to imgur and mastadon, and the images were fine. Disabling fingerprint resist doesn't seem to help.

        Please allow the use of canvas for *key instances as they use Canvas to compress the images as well as for cropping reasons another option is also to just set "Upload original image" as this is a known issue with privacy focused browsers but we can't do anything on our end as this is heavily reliant on the user's choice of browsers as basically all major ones work fine (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)

        Allowing canvas by itself doesn't do anything.

        Enabling "Upload original image" does fix it, but you can't tick it on for images pasted from clipboard.

        On the settings page go to the drive tab and enable "Upload original image" it should then always default to it

        That seems to fix it
