Can't change profile pic on Trisquel forum and elsewhere: ABrowser bug?

I just tried to change my profile pic for this forum, by uploading a new pic (85x85 and less than 30KB) and using it to replace the current profile pic. I couldn't upload the new pic and when I tried to delete the old pic it seemed to work, then came back again. I'm currently having a similar problem changing my profile pic on the Friendica instance at Libranet.de, so I'm wondering if it's an ABrowser bug?
Steps to reproduce:
1) click on 'my account' on the sidebar
2) click 'edit'
3) go to the 'upload picture' section, click 'browse', and select an image from local filestystem (making sure to conform to the size limits mentioned). The filename now appears next to the 'browse' button. There appears to be no other button to action this upload, so ...
4) Click 'save' at the bottom of the page
5) Browse through available images to see that the uploaded image has not appeared
Repeat steps with the addition of:
3.5) tick the 'delete' box next to the current profile pic. The same results except that the old photo appears to be gone.
4.5) repeat step 3) and 4). The old photo has now returned.
The image will not appear under the available images. It’s just set as your profile pic once you selected the file. Note that there is a really small size limit. Also, you may need to clear your browser’s cache by running CTRL+SHIFT+R when on this forum to see your new pic.
P.S. I see a new profile pic for you :) So if you still don’t see it, the problem has to be your browser cache

Thanks for the clarification. I can see the new pic now. But all I can say is that this is terrible UX. Something needs to change in that page after a user clicks 'save' that tells them what they tried to do worked. I wasted about half an hour mucking around with it and even longer posting about it here :/
You may need to go below a certain file size. Have you tried that?
