Hi, Firefox is not showing the Google profile pictures (image1).

- It works on other browsers. - I tried safe mode. - I restarted with addons disabled. - I cleared cache and cookies. - Browser is up to date.

nothing.

Any image from https://lh3.googleusercontent.com doesn't show. I get image2 when I right click "View image" on the profile pictures that don't show.

How can I fix this?

Thanks.

OK I found the problem: An app had added googlecontentuser as an exception to the private/etc/hosts file. I removed the line and it worked. Thanks again for your time.
