library as the current item, so long as the user has access to create
an image component in this library.
- If this option is not possible, the library that is specified

What to do next
Inserting images into a rich text element using Firefox: Firefox prevents websites from accessing local files
due to security restrictions. This limitation means that you cannot
view images that are inserted into a rich text element. See Disabling the security check for information
on turning off this security setting.
