Firefox bug?

Post by **ayu** » 16 Feb 2009, 05:04

I reinstalled Ubuntu yesterday, and all of a sudden I can't see certain images in Firefox, it's odd because it's not any certain kind, just some "random" images, but it's always the same images on all sites. Like some smileys are invisible to me on suck-o now, yet they are all in the same format =/.

Anyone else having this issue?

hm, I experienced some weird problems which seem to be caused by CSS, sometimes it seems FF isn't reading the stylesheet for a site properly (or only partitially), suck-o looks very weird in such a case...no images and the text format is all messed up, Big-E told me he had similar probs with FF already.

can you check the not displayed images by checking their properties or by right click->view image? would be interesting to see if the shown pathas are correct or if there is an error like a 403?

I can't right click on them, but if I check the source of the site, they are included. One of them is:

And if I watch the image directly through the URL, it works =/

eurgh, discovered this when I previewed this post, but I can't see the image ON the board for some reason xD So tell me...is it there?! ^^

hm....your images is displayed, but because you use https for the link the certificate has to be accepted first..

Thought you had solved it there first ^^ tried http, didn't work either

the certificate always have to be accepted first when visiting a https site, and well, for me it works....so the problem must be on your side...checked it with a different browser like Epiphany?

Yeah, works with other browsers, so it's Firefox it's wrong with

the only thing I can add, is when I use https to visit the site, some images don't show up as they come from the http version of the site - my work uses websense to block the http version of suck-o.
Example, some icons or avatars were blocked from filling in the images in https by the firewall blocking http access to the site. So perhaps its a firewall rule you set?

Haven't set any firewall rules yet on this comp, and the broadband router remains unchanged. Besides, it works with other browsers, but I'm more comfortable with Firefox 3, so I want to get it working : (

hm, this is for an older FF version, I am not sure if it's the same in FF3:

Click on Tools,
Options, Content, and make sure that Load Images is checked, and "for
the originating web site only" is unchecked

because I guess when using https and the image is linked to http it is handled as image from an external site...

if this still not help you can send me the image links as last option and I have to replace the paths with relative ones...

Naaah, just let it be ^^ Seems like a known FF bug, since it works for everyone else. I'll just use another browser until it has been patched, or I'll just manage with this one xD

Thanks for your help though guys =)

Using IE7 @ Work, images do not display.
