Hi socialtechday, thanks for the report. I'm unable to reproduce the issue in Firefox 59 for Linux.

Can you confirm if the issue still happens for you?

The same has happened to me for half a year, so I have to use the WhatsApp Web in the Microsoft Edge and it is a bummer not to have everything in the same browser.

As I just saw in another report, it happens when you have the "privacy.resistFingerprinting" in true.

The issue seems to be fixed, the prompt is displayed now.

Note: If I switch "privacy.resistFingerprinting" to true, the prompt is still triggered, but the image preview is not visible.
