In FF I try to upload a foto to a website, I want to go to the foto folder but I have no access to the folder. It was by mistake that I denied access fotos during installation. I refreshed FF ( did not help) and tried a fresh install ( did not help either).

Hi,

You should be able to grant Firefox access by doing the following:

1. Go to the apple menu in the upper-left, and choose "system preferences". 2. Click on "security and privacy", and go to the "privacy" tab. 3. Look for Firefox in either the "photos" or "full disk access" sections, and check the box next to it.

Hope that helps!
