Help me see flickr images in firefox!

December 9, 2008 1:39 AM

Why can't I see any flickr photos? Whether they're embedded on a website or on the Flickr site itself, for some reason I can never see flickr images. Nothing shows up - not even an empty placeholder. WHat can I be doing wrong?

For the record, this started happening about a week ago. I haven't installed anything recently that I think could be causing it... though I may be forgetting something. Is there a known problem that could be an obvious fix? I'm running Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.10. I CAN see flickr photos when I use a different browser... I just can't find any settings in firefox that are obviously keeping me from seeing Flickr images.

Do you use any sort of adblock plugin? Maybe one of your filters is blocking flikr images?

Response by poster: Nope, no adblock...
Add-ons I have installed are ChatZilla, DownThemAll, Greasemonkey (only script enabled is Google Reader Unread Count), Inquisitor, No Squint, Refractor for Prism, StumbleUpon, Tab Mix Plus, Ubiquity, and Ubuntu Firefox Modifications.

Best answer: Did you set Firefox to block Flickr images by accident? The list of blocked sites is in Tools > Options > Content > Load images automatically [Exceptions], click the Exceptions button.

Response by poster: I have NO clue how that could have happened but that's exactly what went wrong. Thanks!
