Images on Web Galleries Won't Show

Hi,

I have Firefox 50.1.0 (up to date) and I just found that Firefox is not showing images on certain web galleries that I used to see in the past with no problems. I am referring to sites that don't require Flash, however I just updated Flash, but still the issue persist. I've had Firefox settings to automatic updates and my best guess is that with some of the latest updates something happened. I can see the images in those website galleries with other browsers but not with Firefox, so obviously the issue is with Firefox. Can anybody help?

This means that the images in the cache were corrupted or possibly there has been a problem with the server that stores to connection details to that server.

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains. You can tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions".

Check "Tools -> Page Info -> Media" for blocked images

  • select the first image and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list
  • if an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain

Check permissions.default.image on the about:config page to make sure it is default (1).


There is Tracking Protection that can block content, so check the location/address bar for special icons.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure such extensions do not block content. There is security software that can interfere with loading content, so check that as well.

I solved the issue by holding the shift key and clicking on reload page icon, and suddenly all images on the gallery showed up.

Can you tell me why this happened?

Thank you
