OK.. Log off from the site. Clear the Browser cache and the cookies relating to the site. Log in again. Sometimes it gets stuck.... !
Some sites are very fussy when you update the Browser....

Work your way through this Diagnostic http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=288184
For more Information http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_ani ... o_not_load
Also check to see if you have not accidentally blocked these images...
Go to Tools > Option > Content... Make sure that Load images automatically is checked. Now click on Exceptions, and make sure that your albums addresses do not appear in the list marked as Blocked.

i just checked, and its not blocked. Im going to visit that link you sent me.
If that doesnt work, what should i do?
I didnt see problems until i had a new version of firefox i believe. Do u have a link to download the previous version again?

Now... the next step... Try running Firefox in Safe Mode... This will disable all your extensions. Lets see if you can load all your files with a nude Firefox.... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode
You might have had an update to an addon that could be causing problems...
Here is a link to older versions, http://mozilla.osuosl.org/pub/mozilla.o ... /releases/
But... This won't work if the problem is elsewhere, and by using an earlier version you open yourself up to the security problems that the later versions fix....
Use with extreme caution...

Did you check the exceptions: Tools > Options > Content : Load Images: Exceptions
Do you have problems with images on other web sites?
Also some firewalls and other security software can block images: did you already checked that?
As it is possible that some of those programs updated.
You can create a test profile as a quick test to check if it is caused by your current profile:
Standard diagnostic: Create a new (test) profile
(only enter a name for the new profile, do not click "Choose Folder" to specify a location)

I had a little trouble with every browser when it came to pages that had photobucket images on them or any link associated with photobucket.com. Then I found this:
"After much playing around I determined that any computers I had using DHCP from my router worked fine, but any that I had the router's address hard-coded for DNS using the router's address (in my case 192.168.1.1) could not access photobucket. I changed the DNS servers to the ISP's servers and it works again. You could also set your computer to use DHCP and accomplish the same thing. If that doesn't solve your issue, then your ISP probably has the same problem, call them. Good luck."
Once I found that I got myself a command prompt and typed in: ipconfig /registerdns
This flushes the DHCP and DNS. Make sure there's a space between ipconfig and the slash.
Hope this helps others with the photobucket problem!
