It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image. See:

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:

• Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
• Click the website favicon (How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?) on the left end of the location bar.

• Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
• Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.

• Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
• If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Thanks cor-el for your response. I had already done the stuff under the favicon. I did it again. The documentation on the mozilla site is out of date for FF4.0 Mac, but I managed to find what it was talking about. Under preferences, I have Facebook specifically allowing images to load.

Facebook worked in ff3.x. I am not sure why the developers decided to hand out a broken version for 4.0. What I am complaining about works just fine in Safari.

Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately it still doesn't work.

Did you find any exceptions set for images?

Firefox > Preferences > Content: Load Images > Exceptions

Facebook uses several servers (e.g. *.fbcdn.net) to store images and you may not recognize the server.

cor-el, again, thanks for following up. The only entry in the Exceptions is:

www.facebook.com Status: allow

But this is weird. I started using Safari because of this FF problem. Because I prefer FF as a browser, I drifted back to it. Now my Facebook friend's photos show. I changed nothing on the FF preferences. Perhaps making Safari my default browser taught Firefox a lesson and it decided to behave. Who knows?

Thanks for taking the time for me.

Did you scroll through all the images in Tools > Page Info > Media ?

Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
