In the Photos section of my Yahoo group site, I can open the "Medium" version of a photo, but when I click on the "Large" and "Original" versions, no pic, just the title of the photo. I've asked Customer support at Yahoo about it, they made suggestions, none worked, they said they didn't have any other suggestions. When I go to the site in Internet Explorer, there is no problem, I can open all three sizes of a photo. I've opened FF in safe mode, disabling all the addons and still can't open those pics. I have the latest version of FF and Quicktime needed updating, which I did--still no luck.

I had this same problem, although it went away when I disabled all add-ons. I traced it to the RefControl add-on. I had set the default setting for all sites to Block 3rd party. The easiest thing to do is right click on the RefControl icon in the statusbar and disable it. Then after you're done viewing the pictures you can re-enable it.

I tried adding yahoo groups in Refcontrol and set it to Normal but it didn't work. You could change the default setting for all sites to Normal and delete your cookies and cache and that will work.

I don't know why it didn't work when you went into safe mode and disabled all your add-ons, unless you are using an external program to block referrers but then it should have blocked it in IE also. If you are using such a program try disabling it before viewing.
