P: Cannot upload reference image [merged thread]

Community Beginner ,
Nov 13, 2025 Nov 13, 2025

I’m currently unable to upload photos to Firefly for editing, despite the service working for only about a week and a half. Considering the cost, this disruption is unacceptable. Please address this issue promptly or provide a full refund.

This problem is being investigated by Adobe.

 

UPDATE as of 2025-11-21:

Adobe has identified an interaction with Firefox which causes this problem. If you are experiencing this is Firefox, please use an alternative browser until this problem is resolved. If you are experiencing this problem with a browser other than Firefox, please indicate your OS, Browser and their version numbers. A screen recording demonstrating the problem would also be helpful.

 

My best,

I was having the same problem in Firefox. I would try to upload an image so I could edit it with a prompt, but nothing would happen; the image would not appear. I just logged into my Adobe account using Chrome, and the process worked great. The image from my computer that I wanted to edit showed up, and I was able to enter the prompt and edit it. Wish it worked in Firefox too, but at least I have a workaround.

Hey @FernandoAndrade86 

 

On my side things are working.
A few things that I do. Choose the image from desktop or downloads. Move it over and hold it over the "Style Reference" for example. 
When I choose from the Adobe Cloud Storage, I have a few options to choose from. I choose an image and press "Add".

I encountered a different problem with Firefox a few weeks ago, 
and now I realize there might be a connection, as the problem, like the current one, doesn't occur in the Brave browser.
The question is whether any Firefox add-ons might be causing these issues. For some time now, I haven't been able to see my credits, and support was unable to help.
Now I see my account details displayed in the newly installed Brave browser.
Perhaps we should all remove add-ons from Firefox or reinstall it?

I found the problem and workaround.JPGwe can fix it!!
I disabled all add-ons in Firefox and then re-enabled them one by one, restarting Firefox after each one.
It turns out that the uBlock Origin add-on is responsible.
So you can either disable it completely, or you can add an exception rule, as you can see in my screenshot. If you do it this way, you'll be able to upload your own photos again,
and you'll also see your account information again without needing a different browser! :-)))
Regards

Sorry, but this only seems to work if you start a new session,
and not if you restore previous settings from the history.
If you then want to replace a photo, you can't upload one again, not even if you change the model directly in a new session,
and not even if you completely disable uBlock Origin. I only regained full access after opening a fresh Brave browser.
This is really strange!

Thanks @OdiugOdiug!. It is worth having others check if uBlock Origin is causing the problem for them by temporarily disabling it to test or turning it off for *.adobe.com.

Curieusement on peut contourner le bug en ouvrant une image produite par firefly et en collant par dessus l'image non firefly que l'on veut utiliser et en rengistrant le tout. C(est laborieux et bizarre !!!

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

seit heute lassen sich einige Grafik Dateien nicht mehr zu Firefly hochladen, Es ist leider kein Grund ersichtlich, warum dieser Vorgang nicht funktioniert. Sollte das Problem weiterhin bestehen, sehe ich mich getzwungen, mein Abo zu Kündigen

Well, @nickgripton, just trying to help people find a solution. But, ad blockers should not be blocking Adobe, either.

Firefly akzeptiert keine neuen Referenzbilder mehr.

Gibt es eine Limite?

Kann man die gespeicherten Bilder in so einem Fall löschen, damit es wieder Platz hat?

It seems there is an ongoing issue with the photo upload process.I am using a Mac Mini m2 and i use firefox with is all up to date. When signing out of a subscription and uploading a photo as a non-subscriber, the photo loads successfully using the same Mac m2 and firefox. However, after signing back in, the previously loaded photo remains, and any attempts to upload additional photos do not work. There are no visible error messages, and the system simply stays on the upload page.

This issue has made the free photo editing access period, which was intended to last until December 1, effectively unusable. Based on discussions among users, there appear to be well over 300 similar complaints about this same problem. Many of us feel that we were encouraged to purchase premium subscriptions under the impression that we would be able to test the service freely until that date, and now it feels as though we were misled or tricked into upgrading prematurely.

In light of this, it would be reasonable to extend the free or premium access period once the issue is resolved, as a gesture of goodwill and fairness to affected users. Please investigate this matter urgently and provide an official clarification or update on how it will be addressed. Thank you for taking the time to review this concern.
