[Solved] Certain avatars don't render when using Firefox

Bubb

I don't know if this is a site problem or a Firefox problem, but it is a little something that I've noticed for quite a while now...

The following screenshots show the problem occurring on a random post in recent discussions:

If someone's avatar is broken, it is broken everywhere it is displayed. I honestly have an inclination that it is just Firefox bugging out, and not the site, but I thought I should report anyway to get it cleared up.

All other browsers I've tested render the avatars correctly, but of course I'm that one irritating person that prefers using Firefox over everything else

Seems like a browser problem.

I tested it out and I can confirm it a browser issue with Firefox.

Firefox added a basic content blocker to v65. Setting it from "Strict" to "Standard" should solve this issue. The option can be found in Options > Privacy & Security > Content Blocking.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

@argent77: The option was already set to Standard, though it was the culprit. If I click the Shield at the leftmost part of the url bar I can disable content blocking for the forums, and the avatars magically start working. I guess I'll just let my extensions block all the trackers instead of Firefox

Oh, and I looked closer at the origin of the blocked avatars. Turns out they were all being pulled from Facebook, and Firefox freaked out because of that. Thanks again everyone; solved!
