Firefox does not open some pictures on picasa where IE opens them all. This only happens at Picasa, with everyones albums. Only about 1/2 show up and the ones that do not cannot be opened.

It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.

See:

  • A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?) on the left end of the location bar.
  • A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (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 though 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.

Cor-el, that makes sense, but all the photos can be seen using Internet Explorer and using Windows XP. It seems that the problem is with Firefox somehow. It could be with Windows 7 too. I just don't know. The problem I have is only with Picasa. When I go to other photo storage sites, I have no trouble.
