Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
It looks like you might have uncovered a very rare bug here. I can reproduce this on my test sites, and my guess right now is that this is related to this code change (from seven years ago!): https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress/commit/0535173dadbde89e097101f3fdd8b151516f9210
This code change is still necessary to fix a different problems with focussing/clicking on elements, but apparently it’s not working fully in Firefox (it might have worked seven years ago though, i.e. maybe Firefox has changed something since then).
I’ll try to debug this some more and will try to find a solution.
In the mean time, there should be a workaround for you: As this only affects the “Add Media” button when opened from within the “Advanced Editor”, can you maybe simply use the “Insert Image” button in the mean time? That opens the same Media Library overlay, but I did not experience the issue there. The only difference will be that the image HTML code is directly inserted into the table cell, without the “Advanced Editor” as an intermediate step. (You can of course still use the “Advanced Editor” for inspecting/modifying the cell content.)

Tobias

Hi Tobias,
thank you for the workaround suggestion. However, I still need some additional linking functionalities that are only available in the advanced editor. So, I will go back to using Chrome for now.
Hopefully, there will be a fix for this bug in the near future.
Hi,
what additional linking functions are only available in the “Advanced Editor”? That’s news to me 🙂

Yes, to be more precise, some buttons from another plugin “Thirsty Affiliates” show in the advanced editor.
Thanks again for the quick response.
Hi,
ah, ok. I see. Thanks for the explanation!
Maybe you can split inserting images and modifying the links, so that you can continue using Firefox?
Best wishes,
Tobias
