Okay so suddenly Firefox has decided that it cannot read file URLs that contain the www prefix. This means http://timelesschaos.com/transferFiles/411tribalChallenge.gif will load fine, but http://www.timelesschaos.com/transferFiles/411tribalChallenge.gif will not load at all. To be clear, it was working perfectly fine two days ago. This also holds true for a multitude of websites, and is not isolated to any one. I don't think I changed any settings, and I just updated firefox to be sure. They also work fine in other browsers.

If I try to directly view the content I get this message

"File not found

Firefox can't find the file at http://www.timelesschaos.com/transferFiles/411tribalChallenge.gif."

Again, getting rid of the www makes it work perfectly.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Yesterday

Hello Anonymous,

follow these steps to unblock images:

  • Go to Tools > Options. Click the Content tab.
  • In the Content section, next to Load images automatically, click the Exceptions button.
  • Now, find the site you want to re-allow images for, click it and hit the Remove button

Other advice can be found in the Fix problems that cause images to not show article.
