I have annoying gree circles with white check marks appear when posting Twitter photos. They appear as extra photos and only in Firefox. How can I disable this?
I don't have any add ons installed. I do not have this problem when using Chrome. It started a couple months ago in Firefox which I keep updated. I use Bitdefender for virus protection and it is up to date.

Can you provide a screen capture/Screen shot so we can diagnose your problem. And reply with that attached.
If you need instructions please reply back whether your on Mac Windows etc
Sure. Hope this helps!! Thank you!
How are you getting the photos into Twitter? For example, using a Browse button and uploading from your computer, or pointing Twitter to a web page and having it grab the image(s) from there, or some other method.
I'm uploading directly from my computer.
Hmm, I can't remember my Twitter password. Hopefully they'll let me reset it...
Meanwhile, I'll just say that it's inexplicable that extra files which are not present in the folder from which you are uploading would appear among the uploaded files. I cannot think of a reason for that.
Some sites might keep a library of uploaded but not yet used images. If Twitter has that somewhere, you might need to remove the images from that page so they don't keep showing up elsewhere.
Thanks for helping. I feel like it's some sort of image security badge coming from Firefox when I upload an image. I end up having to delete all the extras and quickly hit 'tweet' or they will post right alongside my picture. When they post, they are large and extremely blurry, not they weren't created to be posted that size.
I don't use Twitter or any other "social" website, but I have never had Firefox add anything to images that I was uploading or "add" images to any website that I have ever used. I have uploaded thousands of images over the years to a company website to document the work I had performed and never got one complaint about additional images getting added, and never saw any extras - I had to review the report and image slide show before submitting. Most of our work was viewed by the client only; our company managers only reviewed the jobs that the client complained about to justify sending "us" back in to a store to fix those complaints on our own time.
Does that happen when you upload an image when using the Firefox SafeMode?
I just restarted in safe mode and the same images come up on Twitter. Again, I have to play whack-a-mole to X them out and post only the image intended. Thanks for the continued help.
