My background on my firefox browser.
I was customizing my background by loading a picture. It's adult in nature. It should be my computer in my in my private home. When something amazing started happening. If I load ANY image with a naked woman on it After a few minutes Fire fox auto removes it. I have done this 30 times. I use ANY fire fox picture it's fine stays there forever. Load ANY picture with a naked woman on it and poof 2 minutes later it's gone. So please can you explain to me why whats claimed to be the most private and secure browser around is censoring me in my own home about what backgrounds I can have? I find this highly disturbing. And I am quite serious I have had them removed at least 30 times. I'm 56 y/o If I want a naked woman on my background it should be my business not fire foxes. Also no chrome is not doing it. neither is windows. It's Firefox removing them. Any explanation would be nice.

Well, I cleaned out all my cookies ran ccleaner and it worked for about an hour now it just removes them again is what it is. Something is doing it by design. Guess its solved unsolved.

Hi
What is the size of the image that you are trying to add as your new tab background?
1350 x 1024 That size always worked before. And I have used similar before. This started 2 days ago. And I am quite serious. It's only adult Images being removed and it's not by accident.
This is really strange coincidence. Obviously we don't have any code that removes nudity. I can't explain that.

If you open your currently active profile folder and double-click into the wallpapers folder, do you find files there named with strings like
2f8e9d14-60d6-414d-88a8-b7c2c1800d9e
From what I can see, these are the images I uploaded while playing with this feature in recent months.
If the files are missing, I would suspect that some process like security software did not like them there. On the other hand, if the files are still present:
Could you check the following settings:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste newtabWallpapers and pause while the list is filtered. Firefox should list numerous preferences containing this text.
(3) Is the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.enabled preference still set to true? If this is set to false, you will just have the default blank background.
(4) Presumably the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.wallpaper preference toward the bottom no longer has the value custom -- or does it?
(5) Does the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.customWallpaper.uuid preference match the newest file in the wallpapers folder?
Sorry, I meant to link to the article on how to access the profile folder: Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
When I attempt to change my wallpaper to a custom image I get the following error The image exceeded the file size limit of 0MB. Please try uploading a smaller file. any Suggestions would be helpful thanks watches and learns and soon go get a pip rolls with it

Okay, weirdly, the default maximum is 0MB, but normally Firefox is set to ignore the limit. You can restore the default setting or increase the maximum, or both, by diving under the covers. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste customWallpaper.fileSize and pause while the list is filtered. Firefox should list two preferences; ignore the line at the bottom with Boolean Number String.
(3) If the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.customWallpaper.fileSize.enabled preference has a value of true, double-click it (or click the Toggle button at the right end of the row) to restore the default value of false.
If that preference is locked/uneditable, it could indicate that an Enterprise Policy has been applied to manage some settings in your Firefox.
(4) Optionally, set the maximum number of megabytes allowed for custom wallpaper: double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.customWallpaper.fileSize preference to display an editing field, change the value from 0 to 5 and then press Enter or click the blue check mark button to save the change.
