What problems exactly ? Mine is working totally fine.
You should mention FireFox version, android version, what are you trying to do, what happens when you do it.
Mine is Android version 11... How to find out the Firefox version ?

Settings > scroll all the way down > About FireFox.
I would suggest update, if you haven't done and of course the classic restart your phone.
Firefox version 139.0.4
When l'm trying to upload a picture, it's just not accessing the folder where the file is located.
Check the permission setting of FireFox app.
My firefox browser has become slow beyond imagination. Moreover, it's not fetching images for lemmy directly from my folders.

No problems here.

I don't know what this means. You mean that you can't browse through your images to upload something?
You mean that it's not using its local disk cache for images? I guess that could make a browser slower, but that seems like odd phrasing if that's what you're saying...
It's actually an Android thing. In order to improve security, they restricted that kind of access some versions back. Browsers can't browse local files, images, videos, gifs or whatever willy-nilly.
Yes, that's it.... I'm not being able to browse through my images for uploading it onto lemmy.......
I'm able to do so in Firefox Fennec 138.0.0.
It didn't do it by default, but it looks like if you grant Camera permission (Settings:Apps:App Management:Fennec:Permissions), at least "Ask Every Time", then when I choose an image to upload I use "Media Picker", then the three dot menu, then Browse, then my file manager app, I can browse the filesystem.
If the Camera permission is set to "Don't Allow", then the three dot menu is not present.
I normally just use the Eternity client for lemmy, rather than Firefox Fennec, though.
What is local disk cache ? I do my work on a small android phone.....
Your browser still has a disk cache, which will write to the phone's SSD.
You can view it via going to about:cache in your URL bar.
But it sounds like that's not what you were referring to.
Works perfectly on my end..
Maybe give literally ANY additional context here instead of a vague question?
