Using Firefox, but can't see photos

[Chris G]

As the title suggests. What add on or plug in or whatever do I need to install as I can't see 50% of the photos that people are posting on here?

Thanks

Are you on a network? I can't see photos when I am at work as the network blocks them. If not, can't help...

 

[Chris G]

Nope, sitting at home in front of the telly.

Can you give me an example of a photo you can see and another example of one you can't please Chris?

Easiest way to do this would be to right click the image, or the image placeholder for the one you can't see, click 'Copy image location' from the menu which drops down and paste it into a new message.

Thanks,

your not using ABP and got a filter blocking the photohosting site?

 

[Adze]

Just a thought... if you click Tools on the menu bar at the top of the firefox screen, choose Options from the list, ensure the Content tab is selected.

Is Load images automatically ticked? If it is, are there any exceptions? (hint: click the exceptions button to see if there are.)

Cheers,

Adze - already set up as you suggested. I can see the images in this thread by Shewie "A weekend on Loch Lomond", but can't finf an example of ones that i can't see (oops).
Hiho - Yes, but only just installed it so I doubt it is that.

Which filter list did you subscribe to with ABP?

 

[hiho]

I'm subscribed to EasyList (usa) with a heap load of my own...

i have problems viewing addos pics and theres definantly not a filter on his chosen hosting site....

ctr shift e opens up the filters page, scroll around see if you can find a filter for known hosting sites. and just un tick the box

Sorry hiho, I meant Chris. I'm subd to the same list, but never have a problem viewing pics. I'm looking for some of Addo's now.

 

[Adze]

No problems viewing their pics at all - just seen the ammo box stove, which looks nice and spangly, so am off to read that thread

 

[hiho]

i was just telling chris what i used....

Only plug ins I can think to add would be update your Adobe flash player or update your Sun microsystems Java those would be the first 2 things I would check myself. What kinds of pics are you trying to open? I'm using FireFox right now and haven't had any issues with viewing pics on it. Here or other sites for that matter.
