I was in facebook and wanted to delete a recently deceased friend in the birthday section. I chose to block pictures and now I have no pictures whatsoever in facebook. I've looked everywhere trying to find out how to unblock this in facebook and can't find an answer. Thought maybe it might be a Firefox problem. Should be a simple fix but I can't find it. Thanks.

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

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.
