Images Do Not Display
The West Virginia cultural service upgraded their website.
https://archive.wvculture.org/vrr/va_select.aspx
After the upgrade, I and many others cannot view the images in Firefox.
Some other browsers are not affected.
I have gone through the troubleshooting guide but still cannot view the images.
Any help is appreciated. Terry
A little background info: When they upgraded the site there was a great uproar because these images were shared on many, many genealogy sites. The links were killed and the web developers made a change that redirected the old links to the new. I don't know the technical aspect.

You should post screenshots from a working browser compared to what you see in Firefox. We don't know where the images should be.
In chrome on this page https://archive.wvculture.org/vrr/va_bcresults.aspx?LastName=Fisher&FirstName=&Gender=NA&County=Jackson&Year=All&PlusMinus=Exact&Search=Exact&NumRec=25

This does not appear to be a Firefox issue.
Sorry for the late reply. I downloaded MS Edge and and can now see the images. By clicking on one of the image files it loads a page and by right clicking and choosing 'open image in new tab' the image is displayed. If I go to Edge and copy the URL of the image that I can view, and then paste that URL in Firefox, I get the 404 error. Is this because the site is not secure?
We had another thread about issues with this website and it appears that Firefox uses a wrong baseStr for the images and tries to load the images from www.wvculture.org and not from archive.wvculture.org. I posted a JavaScript bookmarklet in the thread that fixes the images.

javascript:void(document.querySelectorAll('img[src^="http://"').forEach(e=>{e.setAttribute('src',unescape(e.getAttribute('src')).replace(/^http:\/\/www.wvculture.org/,'https://archive.wvculture.org'))}))Thank you for the response Cor-ei. So what do I do with the script so the images will load? And, can Firefox include a patch to incorporate this fix for all users?
