My images look all glitched out and scrambled. It wasn't like this before, and I don't remember if I changed anything in my about:config.

I've included what they look like.

This can happen if you block access to canvas like happens when "Resist Fingerprinting" is enabled.

Do you have enabled "Resist Fingerprinting" if you check this pref on the about:config page?

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. If you get the warning page, you can click the "Accept the Risk and Continue" button.

It also happens when I try to upload images. Here I try to upload a profile picture but it becomes all jumbled.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I loaded the page. But: This project uses cloud data - a feature that is only available to signed in Scratchers.

When that feature is enabled and Firefox is striping images extracted from a canvas, there should be an extra icon next to the lock in the address bar -- it looks a bit like a picture. You can use that icon to make an exception allowing the site to extract images from canvases without the striping.

That post was actually spam as it had a spam link hidden within a period.
