What about the toggle as described on that page? Can't you choose to turn off the mixed content blocker for a page if you want? I would imagine that's going to be a common issue once the browser goes live and many sites still serve mixed content.

The Searcher: there actually aren't that many sites with an issue. Flickr is the only one I've actually run into where the mixed content was something other than an ad. The interface they're providing right now doesn't provide a user-friendly mechanism to disable mixed content blocking for all of flickr -- it works just for an individual page.
Thea: Thank you!

Just a heads-up for staff: Firefox 23 is now out of beta, and the mixed active content blocking is going to roll out to users over the next week or so, causing flickr to not work for a lot of users.

Yep, was just upgraded and the issues in your OP are still alive and well.
But other people's photostreams are loading just fine.

 fsu666ftw:
Your issue has nothing to do with FF 23. Using FF 23, I have no trouble with your share buttons. YOu'd be better off sticking to your own thread, where people can give you assistance related to your problem.

The firefox 23 beta blocks mixed active content by default. This means that if you visit a page via https: and the javascript on that page then tries to load content by http: (without the s) it doesn't work.
This issue with flickr and CORS / protocol mismatch has been reported multiple times in the past on this forum, so it is time that flickr fixes it.
flickr staff, you should google the acronym CORS :)

Can flickr pages go to the more secure HTTPS? Would this solve the problem? This is another reason I often wait to upgrade Firefox.

flickr already support https, if you want to use it.
but https involves encrypting (and decrypting) all page content, including images, so it increases the CPU load on both the flickr servers, and your browser.
and for pages with a large number of large images, that may not be so good.

I can scroll through a set without problem. but the photostream scrolling does not work in Firefox 23. The first 10 or so images are shown, and "fetching more ..." does not work.
This means that there is a bug on photostream page, the one that is very easy to fix, - just look at how the scrolling is done on the set page, and do it the same way for photostream page.
Also, full screan lightbox slideshow don't work in Firefox 23 unless mixed content blocker is turned off.

Now that FireFox 23 is not beta anymore, this has become URGENT!
Flickr should be ashamed of ever delivering insecure JS on the "secure" version of their site - that shows a real lack of understanding of what the word "secure" means!

flickr has had CORS-related issues for a long time (including mismatch protocols)
some developers told flickr staff to google "CORS" :)

I'm not sure I fully understand the issues in this thread and thus whether my issue is relevant, however  Lú_ suggested posting here; so here goes:
If I'm logged-in, from my photostream page, if I click the 'Favorites' button, I get the spinning blue & pink balls - forever - however if I click the slideshow button, then my favorites display immediately. (Firefox v23 & Chrome)
On the other hand, in IE10 and NOT logged-in, the same url loads the favorites immediately in normal justified view.
I should add that I only have three favorites as I recently had a 'clear-out' and started afresh; so it's not as if there is a large number of images to load!

Terry: this issue causes your flickr page to display the first page worth of images only, and empty boxes thereafter. It also only happens when using https, and doesn't happen when using unencrypted http. The problem goes away when you go to about:config (you need to paste that into the URL bar) and set security.mixed_content.block_active_content to false.
Unless you're using https, and changing security.mixed_content.block_active_content to false causes correct rendering (at the price of a security problem) you are seeing a different problem.

Thanks for the explanation - from your second paragraph it appears that my issue may be connected, as when I manually added 'https' to the url, my favorites suddenly displayed.

It is possible to toggle this problem behavior by changing the value of security.mixed_content.block_active_content in the Firefox 23 beta about:config, but that's not something that most people are going to figure out on their own.
I'm one of those most people above using https and walking through the fix is way too confusing/terrifying.
meanwhile, flickr w/ firefox is impossible now - every edit, every page, every note, every action requires another disable protection on this page
the Mozilla Security Engineer on Twitter, Tanvi @TanviHacks, posted The goal is to push the web forward and get websites to actually fix their security issues. leaves me, a paying customer on Flickr, who had an auto update checked for Firefox, right in the middle of the push feeling, well, squashed from both sides.

Y'okay, I don't know if what's happening to me is the same issue or not, but it isn't occurring in Internet Exploder. The symptoms are the same; Flicker/Firefox loads five rows of a photostream, then leaves the rest gray boxes. I thought I had the right mojo on it, but it's still messed up.
Background:
(1.) Running Firefox 23.0.1 on a Windows Vista Enterprise (SP 2) machine.
(2.) "security.mixed_content.block_active_content;false" set manually in about:config.
(3.) I'm not using https:, the URLs are of the type https://www.flickr.com/photos/99999999@N00/ or https://www.flickr.com/photos/whoever.

I'm using Chrome, in the day I can be on flickr for an hour or so with no problems but ater 9pm BST within 10 minutes or so I get the spinning balls constantly the photos NEVER load. The only way I have found to carry on is to come out of Chrome and start again. This did not happen before the major up-date. Can it please be sorted because flickr is very frustrating and takes far too much time.

This has been an open problem for more than a month, and no solution other than to advise users to drop https on their browser and surf the web with all guards down. Flickr, this issue will be headed to the blogosphere very soon. It needs to be high on your list.

 pote757:

Nonsense.
No one is suggesting you search the web without precautions.
What they ARE saying is that you may want to connect to certain Flickr pages using HTTP and not HTTPS. Or use a different browser, such as Chrome, that doesn't have this problem.

I have the same problem. Can fix it by clicking on the shield icon in the address bar. Annoying since it seems I have to do it for every person whose photostream I visit.

Flickr, you clearly state:
What are the system requirements and supported browsers?
For PCs, Macintosh or Linux, we recommend the following browsers:
Firefox (version 10 or newer)
Safari (version 6 or newer)
Chrome (most recent version)
fyi - Firefox 23 is still NOT supported!
Any relief in sight?

I'm so glad I found the about:config workaround in the comments above. I've mailed a lot with Flickr about this issue and in the end they advised me to use Chrome and wait for them while they are working on it...they never mentioned the about:config method...

This problem just started yesterday: I upload 8-12 photos daily. Yesterday I uploaded 14 photos using FF. I used the 'Upload' page to do the arranging, tagging, moderating, and adding descriptions. Everything seemed good. I then went to my photostream to verify. Everything still seemed good so I decided to add a few to groups. I clicked 'communities'/'Group list'/chose a group/ and clicked 'Add Photos'. Everything was good up to that point. But the page that opened is screwed up. The large box on the left where you choose the photos to add normally has 6 photos across. Instead, I had 5. The box on the right where the 'selected' photos appear is normally 3 rows down and 2 photos across. Instead, I had one column 6 photo boxes tall with three boxes outside the big box and on top off the group rules. I could select photos to add and they would appear in the vertical column of boxes. But the 'Add' button, which also appeared on top of the group rules, did not function. I tried several groups, restarting my computer, etc., every time the same result. I then tried IE 8. It worked fine, just a whole lot slower. This morning the problem still exist. BTW, before I started writing this post I decided to check my FF version, clicked 'Help'/'About'. It said I was running version 23 but immediately started running an 'update'. I'm now running version 24, lol, and still have the same problem. Does anybody have a clue as to what's going on?

Possibly your browser zoom needs to be reset?

I cannot say how it happened to you. I have myself inadvertently changed my browser zoom by unknowingly moving my mouse wheel while having the "cntrl" button down. Perhaps it happened some other unknown way. It is a somewhat common symptom in the help forum threads and so I've seen it before and recognized the symptom here.

FireFox is now on ver. 24 and appears to be running OK apart from the lethal slowness which is just Flickr serving up the huge grey boxes in two sizes before it attempts to load.

When I click on a pic in search on FF 24, nothing happens.
It seems to always be that way in search, it's at least sometimes that way in streams.
I had a bizarre situation earlier (with FF 23 or 24 - I don't remember which) in which some search terms worked right and the rest didn't. I haven't noticed lately that any work right.

A couple of spammers might.
Version 26 of FF has a bug in the new photo page, after using the arrows to go on to view the next pictures, none of the symbols work.
You have to click out of the picture and reload it to get any of the symbols to open up the boxes to get to basic functions.
I probably should of started a new topic.
