After upgrading to Firefox 6.0 my Facebook images will not open. I see a white box with a frame but after clicking on it a totally black square opens up instead a photo. All is OK when using IE9. (Also, the same with Twitpics on Twitter.)

This happens with every upgrade of Firefox. So I changed to requesting that I be notified of upgrade and I have to click to say okay. I decided to stay at 5 for several months until the bugs are out. I am tired of losing programs and toolbars that I have grown used to having.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.

See:

  • Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
  • Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
  • Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:

  • Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
  • Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
  • Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
  • If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
