Firefox does not load images over HTTPS

When viewing secure sites (HTTPS) images are not displayed on FF 3.6.6

For example: I can not see images on Gmail, Google Images or StumbleUpon

I have checked the images settings and it automatically loads images from all sites, there are no domains blocked

There is no add-on to block images

Javascript is enabled

I've tested almost all network configuration but the problem persists

If I inspect the image with Firebug 1.5.4 the image is available as preview

The same page is correctly displayed on IE8

I've tested in safe-mode but the error remains

Again... I suspect it has something to do on how FF 3.6.6 handles HTTPS

Even if you do not have an answer, post if you experience the same problem.

Thanks for your help!

Try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window - See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved


Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting:Make a new profile]]

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files) See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
