In a text-based support forum like this I think one should be careful to use images only as an additional resource, and still use the body of the email to fully describe the issue as much as possible. Not that I am suggesting *you* would just post a link to an image with no further explanatory text, I just wanted to make clear that I don't think that would be generally acceptable. Anyhow, that said, there are tons of free image host web sites where you can easily upload and share a link. I use https://imgur.com/ and https://imaegbin.ca/ the latter of which doesn't require any kind of login (maybe imgur doesn't either, but I have an account so am logged in anyway…) I don't really see there is any need to use Debian's pastebin in preference to any other anyway. It doesn't have any particular Debian-specific features aside from being ad-free. If you have another that's ad-free then I don't see a problem with using that one.

You already know how to fix your problem (upgrade to the current stable release). Running web browsers on obsolete, unsupported releases is a sure path to doom.

They are images showing a problem I'm having in Firefox displaying youtube videos on Jessie (with the same version of Firefox as on my Buster installation where it seems to work fine).

paste.debian.net for screenshots?
I want to post a problem here with 4 screenshots -- I tried sending them as attachments, but the mail got rejected. I then looked up paste.debian.net (and pastebin.net) and both of those seem to be text only. How do I make screenshots acessible to the list?
