When I go to Flock I can see an enlarged photo when I click on it...but on Mozilla Firefox I only get a black photo. I've been trying to fix this for months and no one seems to know how to fix it. Thanks.

Are that pictures on a web page or images that you have saved on your computer?

See:


  • Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
  • Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
  • Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
  • Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down 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.

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
