My firefox browser has become slow beyond imagination. Moreover, it's not fetching images for lemmy directly from my folders.

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...

Yes, that's it.... I'm not being able to browse through my images for uploading it onto lemmy.......

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.
