Flickr - Firefox Conflict

Post by kepPNW » October 3rd, 2013, 8:29 am

If you use the latest versions of Firefox (>v23) and are having "issues" with photo Sets on Flickr, specifically with Flickr perpetually "Fetching more photos...", this thread offers the solution:

Flickr: The Help Forum: [Acknowledged] Flickr has issues with Firefox 23 beta

Short story: Go to about:config and toggle the value for security.mixed_content.block_active_content to False.

The "problem" is that Flickr is using javascript to load more images as you scroll down the page, and the new default in Firefox is to prevent that. For the most part, such antics have been used mainly for advertising, apparently.
