I don't have a direct answer to your question but maybe you can derive something from my procedure in all its gory detail. Probably more than you wanted to know but it might help the next person. It seems to work the same for Firefox and Chrome.
After clicking on Post Reply you should see this:
Click on Insert Image at Cursor then you should see this:
Put something in the Description box. Don't leave it blank or you will be caught in an endless loop. Click Choose File, browse to your photo location and double click it. Click on Upload Image. Then you should see this:
Click Close Window. Then something like this should appear:
This gobbledygook is your photo. Add text as necessary then click Post Message when you have completed your work.
Note that the Description that you earlier typed into a box will appear in the string just before the width. These descriptions aid in editing and making sure everything is in correct order when you are composing your post. You do not "see" the photos when you are composing; you do see the alphanumeric strings. Somewhat counter-intuitively (to me, anyway) is that the Description does not carry over into your final post; you must add captions manually in your writeup. Add spacing between your text and photos as desired to "sanitize" it.
While I was writing this I discovered that I no longer needed to reduce my photo size with third party software prior to inserting it into the post. It is done automatically when hitting Upload Image. A new feature? Nice!!!
