Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

Can't upload large images (png and jpg) on facebook neither on the wall or in a an album. Sometimes, when uploading a large image in an album an unknown error is given but most of the time the uploading bar gets stuck to a certain point and the upload is not done from there on. When uploading an image to the wall the loading animation keeps going - never stops.

Reproducible: sometimes

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Google search engine
2. Search for large png images (e.g 2816x2112, 5000x4068, etc )
3. Log into your Facebook account.
4. Go to your profile -> photos -> Add Photos -> name the album in the upper left corner -> Select photos to upload.

Expected results:
The image selected should upload.

Actual results:
The image selected does not upload, the Uploading bar gets stuck to a certain point without uploading.

*Notes: 
On Windows XP when I uploaded a png image (5000x4068px) on the wall I got the error "Failed to upload photo" but on Ubuntu 11.10 the loading animation keeps on spinning without loading. 
Reproducible on Firefox 3.6.27 and Firefox 11 beta 3.

Issue is also reproducible on Firefox 10.0.2 ESR - large png images are not uploaded in a Facebook album.

Can you please find the regression range for this bug? especially if it's a regression to the libpng fix we took in 10.0.2.

Thanks Mihaela. At least that confirms its not a regression for our libpng fix. Can you please use mozregression to find the regression range?

Also is this reproducible in other browsers?

I think this is more than likely a limitation within Facebook and not a *bug*. Marking as INVALID for now -- please reopen if you can make a case for this being bug we can fix.
