This is characteristic of the privacy.resistFingerprinting feature that blurs images extracted from a canvas. I assume you turned that on intentionally?

While you are on that site, is there a canvas permission icon toward the left end of the toolbar? If so, you can use that to give the site permission to extract images from a canvas without blurring.

If there's no icon for it, try the Page Info dialog. While you are on the relevant page, you can call that up using either:

  • Ctrl+i (for Mac, Command+i)
  • right-click a blank area of the page > View Page Info
  • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info

When the dialog comes up, click the Permission icon at the top to show that panel.

Near the top, you'll find "Extract Canvas Data" and you can uncheck the "Use default" box and select the Allow permission. (Note: this permission only appears if privacy.resistFingerprinting has been enabled.)

That change is saved immediately. You can close Page Info and it should be effective on your next upload.

Was that it?
