I also wanted to add this: I can still see all my pictures in each album as a group. Each picture i click on though, when it opens up and where comments are...there is no picture. Only the small picture when I look at it as a whole in each album. Once I open it up individually there is nothing. This is the same if I look at my friends pictures. It seems that everyone can view my pictures...I just cant view my own or anyone else in full screen.

You may have accidentally clicked the 'Block Images' item in the right click context menu while trying to save an image. Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See: Options window - Content panel

A way to see which images are blocked is to click the Site Identification icon (favicon/image on the left end of the URL/location bar) and click the "More Information" button: -The Security tab of the Page Info window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info) will open -Go to the Media tab of that Page Info window. -Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow. -If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove the check mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Hello Gina,

follow these steps to unblock images:

  • Go to Tools > Options. Click the Content tab.
  • In the Content section, next to Load images automatically, click the Exceptions button.
  • Now, find the site you want to re-allow images for, click it and hit the Remove button.

Other advice can be found in the Fix problems that cause images to not show article.

Kind regards, Tobbi Firefox Support Volunteer
