When I log into my Facebook account using FireFox it does not show the thumbnail of pictures or videos posted by others. However ie and Chrome are perfectly fine.

See:

  • A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?) on the left end of the location bar.
  • A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (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 though 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.

I had this problem on a dating site after I had clicked an option to block thumbnails, which I thought was for just that one particular thumbnail photo, but it then blocked all thumbnails at that site. I used the fix above, finding the greyed-out line and unchecking the block box, which showed up for that line. Now all thumbnails show up again.
