Thumbnails in Facebook turn into a black screen when I click on them. Sometimes they briefly display enlarged before turning black. It doesn't happen when I use Internet Explorer so I think it must be Firefox.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Last few days

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

I did disable a Skype extension which was marked that it was known to be causing problems and then rebooted my computer. The problem was gone! I used Skype last night and it didn't seem to affect Skype at all - so all is well now! Thanks for the tip - maybe someone else will benefit from it too.
