Skydrive + photos + firefox = no-show

[tuckeratlarge]

Is anyone having the same problem as me?

I have been playing around with Skydrive, and to be honest i likes what I see. With a great big fat caveat.

I use firefox, and any photos or thumbnails fail to show up, I either get a grey box or nothing where the photo should be. If I switch to IE this does not happen, photos/thumbs in all their glory.

I have even used IE Tab in FF and - BAMM - loverly photos. I have even turned the neowin nemesis off (AdBlock Plus) to no avail.

Anyone else? if so how do you get around this?

I use FF and dont have any problems, sounds like something to do with your settings.

Sorry i cant help you any further.

Are you sure that its compatible with firefox?

[matthewmarley]

Well it works for me on FF then it must be !

I've got it working. Ensure you have silverlight installed perhaps. And Firefox 3

[threesixtyflip]

Yeah as Owenw says make sure everything like silverlight, flash and of course your FF is up to date

Have you got any security settings in your preferences that stop it from loading?

[redvamp128]

Use about:config to make sure that the preference permissions.default.image is set to "1", the default value (right-click and select "Reset" if any other value is shown).

Try that one.

[tuckeratlarge]

permissions.default.image is set to "1" - check

silverlight - check

FF 3.0.4 - check

AdBlock off - check

No Script allow - check

When I click on the properties of the thumbnails (which are just grey squares) i get this...

"https://secure.wlxrs.com/0WBtJic0j630Fm4oasA5Gg/images/transparent.gif" - and it says its 1px ? 1px (scaled to 108px ? 108px)

still no worky

as a quick workaround I am using the IE Tab extension to view Skydrive photos. Installed that aaaaaages ago and only ever used it for Hotmail (which now works fine in FF)

I have no problems using any of Windows Live Programs in Firefox. I have Silverlight installed. That could be a reason. I do not use IE Lite

Just out of curiosity, are you still having the same problem? The team was having a hefty amount of problems release day and that might have been it. If you still are, I'll send them some feedback regarding it :).

Found and solved the problem.

It only occurs in private folders because they're https-secured. Now you're on the site *skydrive.live.com but the pictures are on the site *livefilestore.com so they don't show up.

Solution: Go to the firefox options and accept third-party cookies. The pictures will now show.

You sir are a genius. Works now without having to use IE Tab, which gets rid of some of the protection Firefox and extensions afford.

Cheers.

I have had this problem as well. Thanks for posting the solution! It works perfectly now!!

I just ran into this problem. I don't allow cookies globally. If you're like me you need to add livefilestore.com to your exception list. This is of course in addition to live.com
