For the second time today images in Firefox have disappeared and, as I was Sincing two computers at the time, now they BOTH have the same problem.

Earlier today, the images on Firefox completely disappeared. Nothing I did fixed this issue; not restarting in Safe Mode, not disabling individual add-ons, nothing. No other browser was affected. After a little over an hour of this, the images suddenly came back with no changes from me. A little less than an hour ago, the same issue started happening, this time, though, I was using Sinc to transfer data to another computer and now both of them cannot display images in Firefox. Please fix this.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

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.

See also:


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

Thanks for the reply. I went to the config:image page and discovered the default.image.pref was set to 0, so I changed it to 1. I can't tell if it's had any effect yet, however, because - just like the first time it happened - the issue corrected itself about a half hour after I sent the message. Here's hoping the change prevents this from happening again.

0 (zero) is not a valid value for that pref (1-3), so the behavior in such a case is not predictable (I haven't checked the Firefox source code to see what it defaults to).
