On Etsy, many of my photos won't load. But they load if I switch to IE. This started yesterday. Why?

I have cleared my cache. The non-loading photos are consistent. Always the same photos won't load. Some others have reported the same issue on Etsy forums, but I don't know if they are using Firefox or not.

All photos load when I use IE.

I am on Firefox 3.6.4

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

See:

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

  • 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.

Well, when I first read this, I thought -" I know that's not my problem!" But, I was wrong! This fixed it in a matter of seconds.

I had a "load images" exception. I don't know why, but I changed it to "allow", and immediately had pictures again.

Thank you VERY MUCH for the quick and easy to understand answer.
