Graphics are missing while using "Secure Browsing"
While browsing in secure mode, the graphics on the web pages are missing. The area which would normally show some picture is white. The problem is also showing up when I go to some news videos. For example, the following site:
This is repeatable.

I downgraded to Firefox 12 and the problem was still present. I then downgraded flash player 11.3 to 11.2.202.233, which I got from the adobe web site for my 64 bit windows 7 operating system. Now flash works on both Firefox 12 and 13. Older versions of flash are located at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Hi,
Is it Private Browsing?? It seems to be okay (at least the yahoo video). Please check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can then Reset Firefox on the old (previous) profile via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.
If I try to change http to https, I get the "not secure" error page. Are you using an add-on to browse Yahoo news over a secure connection? Sorry, I read your post wrong. I see now that secure pages and Yahoo videos were separate issues.

There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (12-13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?)
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
Does any of that appear promising?
Your input "Conflict with Flash" seems to be the answer. I install the new Flash Player(11.3) but no help. See http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929108

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
- 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"
- Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down 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.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
