Topic: Random Images Not Loading

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

Occasionally, I have an issue where an image will not load. The thumbnail will load, but when I click on the image, I can not see the image, but only a list of the tags where the image should be. This is relatively annoying, as it only pushes my curiosity further as to what the image looks like when it isn't a thumbnail, and seems to be at complete random as to which images this happens to.

That is to say, this does NOT happen to all images, but rather, images at random. I have also not noticed this happening to any form of flash, yet, but I have seen it with .gif images.

I have attempted to follow the suggested instructions from this thread , and I am currently attempting to load one such image, to no avail, with multiple restarts of firefox. I am currently -not- running any form of firewall, antivirus, or adblocker, and have tested with all add-ons disabled.

I am running Firefox v28.0 on Windows 7 64 bit, and updated from Firefox v27.2, to see if it would fix the issue. It did not.

Any suggestions are very welcome, other than switching browsers. While this is a technical fix, it can create a hassle. (Due to browser autofills, and my habit of bookmarking pools.)
