can't upload google contact picture

[Kom-Si]

Binary package hint: firefox

When I try to upload picture for a Google contact from local hard drive (NTFS) I get the following error message:
"The file you selected could not be uploaded. It may be too large or it was not a valid image file. Please select another file or click the upload button to try again."
As a workaround I tried uploading contact pictures using older version of Gmail, and it worked just fine. I can also upload pictures for my contacts using Google Chrome browser or IE from under Windows, but I'd rather stick with Firefox.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Gosh, I've upgraded Ubuntu four (!) times since posting this bug, I stopped using Firefox, I travelled half of the globe, and long since v. 10.04 I stopped caring if Google contact pictures get uploaded via Firefox.
And now in the fall of 2012 you go ahead and CONFIRM this outrageously dated bug. Well done guys, with this kind of follow-up Linux is unbeatable... 8-|

Ignoring comment #3.

Uploading photos to Google Contacts works fine here using Firefox 70 and Ubuntu 18.04.

If anyone *still* has a problem then they should raise a new bug report so that their system information gets added to the Launchpad bug report. An example/details of the submitted file would also be appreciated.
