Problem

Hopefully this will help someone. If you are using Drupal and testing on Firefox, you might run into a problem whereby an image will load while you are logged into the CMS, but when you log out it’s a no show.

Cause

This issue is caused by a precise combination of software and versions. We were using Drupal 6.13, Firefox 3.0.12, and Adblock Plus 1.1. It might even also be related to Drupal modules such as Login Destination or Advanced Front Page.

Solution

To solve it you can either:

• Revert to the previous version of the Adblock Plus add-on, version 1.02.

or (recommended):

• Upgrade to the latest release of Firefox, version 3.5.1 (which it might not yet have auto-detected for you).

Either of these measures should solve this unusual problem.
