This issue also occurs on the Buri v1.1 MOZ ril.

The user sees a basic text field and share button. The typical Facebook wall post attachment options are not given.

Colby, the OS uses the legacy Feed Dialog API:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/feed-dialog/v2.0
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/a556a3707d00ef68e43efc4dad13bca2a048bde7/apps/communications/contacts/js/fb/fb_messaging.js#L78
Is there any chance to get an image upload button in there, or is our only way to switch to the modern share dialog [1]. Keep in mind that this code is deployed to all current and upcoming phones in market and it will take a while until they will be updated when we change to the new dialog our current version.
David might have more details on why we are using the legacy dialog system.

As it is a web view, it's hosted by FB and fully controlled by them. For me, it's not a regression, it's a new feature that can be only implemented by FB with the current approach.

oteo: I agree it is out of our control. I didn't say that it is a regression but that we need to look into switching to the recommended share dialog offered by FB.
Colby can give input into if he can fix the legacy share dialog in FB.

Facebook will not support a new feature on an old API. We may want to look at what we might be able to do on our end to address/eliminate this issue.
Removing Colby's NI as he's no longer at FB
@Francisco - Can you provide a comment on this bug?

Hi Francsico,
Agree that it is out of our control to fix this, if we continue using the same api from Facebook. We were wondering if we can look into switching to the recommended share dialog offered by FB, for the future builds of FxOS?
Would you be up to help explore that option? When we had the discussion with FB regarding the new contacts app, they connected us with the point person for that topic. Perhaps we can reach out to that person and explore what their recommendation is?
What do you think?
Thanks,
Didem
