don't ask me why this worked but it was just a wild hunch that paid off
a couple weeks back I reported that the upload photo button was missing in some browsers, but not others
well today it was working in firefox..until it wasn't.. it stoped showing up in every browser and looking at the code reveiled the javascript was missing, only the "noscript' portion was there
I tried disabling all cacheing and performance options in cloudflare deleting server site browser and cloudflare caches
nothing worked till I decided to try 1 last thing

went into the embed media global settings and made upload photo the default tab
and it fixed it!
my theory:
the javascript doesn't load in the page when you switch from another tab to that tab
but, if that tab loads 1st as the default.. the js loads just fine
and... works perfectly in every browser

jr team you might want to see if u can duplicate it or figure out why
ps I did also change it to 'current profile only' could it be a issue with the allowing global file access

and on that note wether you alow global or only profile when you look at the gallery or search (or any other tab) only a very few results show in that popout container the rest are hidden by overflow
can we make that scrollable with the ajax pagination within the embed media container

pleeeeaseeeee
that is 1 very annoying limitation of the embed media module
