For some reason Firefox fails to load different images from Facebook.

I went into FireBug and grabbed that the images that failed to load were trying to be loaded from "scontent-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net".

I have deleted all Facebook related cookies.

Thank you.

If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.

  • Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.

Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"

Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images

  • Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
  • If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.

Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.


Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Cleared everything, disabled addons, checked content preferences, disabled firewall, opened in safe mode, still can't load images.

SO confused.
