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.

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
