Found on the baby bird (Goo-Gull) presumed instructions that mentioned Firefox.
"How to post to Instagram from any computer - CNET"
**QUOTE WITH INSERTED COMMENTS IN BRACKETS**
Open Chrome, visit Instagram.com and sign in to your account.
Right-click anywhere on the page and then select Inspect (Inspect
Element in Firefox) from the list of options.
[[SO FAR, SO GOOD]]
A window with a random text will show up at the bottom of the page. The
only thing we care about is the small tablet icon in the top-left corner
of the Inspector tool. In Firefox, that icon is on the top-right of the inspector tool.
[[FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE FUNNY "DOUBLE-BOX" ICON, LITTLE
BOX/RECTANGLE TO LEFT OF LARGER ONE, WAS IT]]
Click on the icon that looks like an iPad ($275 at Back Market) with an iPhone next to it. The Instagram interface should refresh, giving you
the mobile website, complete with the + button to create a post.
[[WHAT OE SEES IS A SMALL "WINDOW" AND ONE MUST MOVE THE BAR OF THE FIREFOX INSPECTION WINDOW DOWN,AND "STRETCH" THE UPPER WINDOW GREATLY,
TO SEE ALMOST ALL OF WHATEVER INSTAGRAM CHOOSE TO SHOW.]]
[[BROWSE AROUND AL YOU WANT..THERE IS *NO* "+" ANYWHERE]]
If you don't have the post button, refresh the page and it'll show up.
At least, that's what worked for me.
[[SORRY CHARLIE, NO TUNA TONIGHT.]]
[[IN FACT, NEVER SEE ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THE DISPLAYED BOX WITH "ADVANCED"]]
When you're done posting your photo, click on the tablet icon again and close the Inspector tool.

Worse than useless;say i am in the middle of running a game - i should
"1. Tap the + icon at the bottom of your screen."? Or looking at stock quotes? or....
Got news for ou, aint gnott kno "+" in Instagram.
Was talk about an "app" .. what "app"?
[[DOA]]
So,,,tried yet another: "3 Ways to Post Pictures on Instagram from
Your Computer ..."
WELL, well and folks, the dirty secret is out.
Scroll down below "5. Click the "mobile" icon" and just look at the screenshot of the Instagram page.
Look carefully...a grey circle "person" icon with !!!A PLUS!!!
Scroll down further and see Instagram screen image showing, in order,
a house/home icon, a spyglass icon, a PLUS icon, a heart icon,and a
person icon.
The dirty secret is..
THAT PLUS ICON DOES NOT EXIST.
At least, _somebody_ let the cat out of the bag.
As an aside, that "mobile" icon does not change color.

Junky..transferred images to my "phone", got the Instagram app, logged
in, SAW the "+" icon exactly where that screenshot showed, was able
to upload ONE photo icon. "Multiple" pretended to do something but
result was nada.
Better than a kick in the head.
Maybe try to do another photo later; one at a time...
Gr more important things to do.

Instagram also expires links to photos, and then assigns new links
(URLs) to the photos. This is to prevent hotlinking, but it also means anyone posting URLs in their blogs, or elsewhere, will lose all those
photos until they figure out what are the new URLs.
There used to be an API to let users update the URLs to their Instagram photos, like someone having a blog full of Instagram-hosted photos or
web sites linking to Instagram photos. The API was close April 2018, so
now anyone linking to Instagram photos will eventually lose those links.
It's another facet of Instagram. It is for sharing photos, but not for providing permanent URLs to them. The photos don't go away. It's URLs (links) to them that expire and new ones are created for the photos.
Their Data Policy is an, um, "interesting" read. See it at:
https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875?helpref=page_content
If they suspect you of violating their TOS (whether you agree with their decision or not), they can ban your account from 24-48 hours. They can,
at their discretion, terminate your account. Besides having to figure
out what are the new URLs to link to your photos when sharing them or referencing them elsewhere (e.g., your blog or web site), you could lose years of photos and videos without any means of recovering them *if* you thought Instagram was a cloud file storage service, and didn't keep
copies on your own storage or at a real cloud file storage service.
For marketers using Instagram as yet another venue to spew their
content, and because Instagram users are mostly millennials which short attention spans and constantly hungry for new content, content creators
(aka marketers) have to constantly product new content to feed the
Instagram community who get easily bored without frequent stimulation.
You can "follow" a max of 7500 other Instagram users. Follows are so
tenuous in the first place because of the entire concept of, gee,
someone strokes your ego by following you, but these same flaky users
have to unfollow to allow to them spuriously follow some other users. "Unfollows" are common and often. Because of the flaky community, if
they disagree with any of your content then they unfollow. Think what
would happen to your real and physical friends if they were no longer
your friends because of one tiny comment you made to which they did not
fully agree. Because of the pervasive density of flaky users at
Instagram, it is a social venue rife with nasty rumor mills.
Users waste gobs of time at Instagram scrolling through their feed and Explore section. You see all those boobs at the airport wasting their
time playing Candy Crush and addicted to Instagram.

To me, renewing the URLs pointing at the photos or videos (i.e.,
periodically changing the URLs) would be a deal breaker for trying to
store photos or videos at Instagram. When I configure a photo for
sharing and give the URL to someone, I won't bother to revisit that same photo to check if the URL got changed to resend a message to someone
else declaring the URL got changed by Instagram (not by me).
They implement that nuisance to prevent hotlinking (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_linking) because they think your
content is their content. It might be as some [social] sites word their
TOS to state such: anything you upload to them becomes their property. Instagram claims Instagram claims it does not take ownership of its
users' content yet their terms state that the user grants Instagram a ┤non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable,
sub-licensable, worldwide license to use their contentí. Seems like
they think your stuff is their stuff, too, hence their use of their hotlinking avoidance scheme. When I give URLs to shared files in my
OneDrive and Dropbox accounts, those URLs remain fixed the entire time
the photos are stored there.
I don't remember mentioning anything about ads. Just like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social sites, companies have long been utilitizing those to promote themselves. Instagram is just another
social site where companies can promote themselves. They are an entity
just like you are, so they get the same privileges to post their content
as you are. If companies get to pay Instagram to spew ads in the
content of other users, that would be another reason to avoid Instagram.
https://blog.hootsuite.com/how-to-use-instagram-for-business/
You'll find LOTS of business web sites that have links to their
Facebook, Twitter, and other social site accounts. You think businesses
are going to forego a free or super-cheap advertising venue? While they
are allowed to have their own profile or identity at social sites, I
don't recall users complaining about them injecting ads into the
profiles or identities of other users. Well, other than the ads that companies pay to the social service which may not require a profile at
that service; i.e., they're just another spammer paying the service who
uses that revenue to offset the costs of resources they provide to all
their freeloaders.
I did find a pro-business site explaining how to advertize on Instagram, which said "Instagram ads are posts or Stories that a business pays to promote to users' Instagram feeds. They can look just like regular
Instagram posts, but are always identified by a ┤Sponsoredí label."
Okay, but ads have become the expected norm for a long time for free
services and freeware. It's very hard to find a "free" Android app at Google's Play Store that isn't adware. The cost for "free" is ads.
After all, those servers, Internet bandwidth, web design, support, and
other resources aren't free (you like to get paid for your work, too),
so most free sites have ads hence why users have had to resort to
adblockers mostly due to ads becoming overwhelming or rude. To continue
to exist as a business, they need revenue. You might not want to see
their ads, especially from 3rd parties. So, we have the ad wars: they
push ads to stay alive, you block ads to speed up page loads, reduce bandwidth, and eliminate unwanted content.
