pixiv problem (with firefox)

so for some reason i am unable to view any pixiv images in firefox.

i'm not talking about R-18 shit either, i log on to pixiv (or not) i can see thumbnails in the galleries, but when i click on an image to view it on it's own page, it isn't there. the rest of the page looks completely normal, but the picture i'm trying to view and the artist's avatar are both missing.

i had typed up a few paragraphs about this a little while ago and in the midst of typing decided to attempt to open pixiv in opera and everything looks normal. so i know that this isn't a problem with my account (or ISP).

i've upgraded to the newer version of FF since i first registered for pixiv, and have started using Adblock Plus & NoScript, but i couldn't get the site to work right back in march of 2008 when i registered, so i know that it isn't my add ons or the new version of FF.

any help?

Try this, clean out all your cookies and try again. If that doesn't work disable all your add ons and try again.

It happened to me too for a while, I think cookie cleaning restored it for me.

I use Adblock Plus too and latest FF and they work fine.

Is this a tech support forum? Is this danbooru releated?

thx i'll haveta try cleaning out my cookies. odd that i never think of that.

no and no, but if you google "pixiv help" the first thing that comes up is this thread:http://danbooru.donmai.us/forum/show/4517 followed by somebody's DA account that walks you through signing up to pixiv, the wikipedia article for pixiv, and some other crap that didn't seem to be very helpful.

so i cleared out my cookies and it made no difference, and i turned off all of my addons and it didn't help. i searched a little more and found out that a few other people have been having this problem (http://housyasei-san.livejournal.com/55104.html) and have not been able to figure it out either, so it looks like i'm stuck with Opera for now.

Try creating a new FF profile and see if it helps. FF is notorious for being shit unreliable with its profiles and forcing frequent purges of user data. Running FF as "firefox -profileManager" will let you create a new profile. And make extra sure you don't have something like system-wide adblock installed, in case you're running a system where that's possible (debian/ubuntu for instance).

I know this is a very late response but I want to share that I had this exact problem recently and was able to solve it without any cookie deletion or new profile creation.

Might I ask if you are sending a Referrer Header when requesting pages? Pixiv doesn't like it if you don't send this. My best guess is that Pixiv checks to make sure page access comes from a valid link within its site. Try this and see if it works:

- In the URL field type: "about:config"
- In the filter field type: "referer" or "sendreferer"
- Look at the value column. Is the value 0? If so, set it to 1 or 2 by double-clicking on the value and changing it.

This worked for me perfectly as I had set it to 0 for a certain website and that is when I started having issues with Pixiv. The instant I set it back to 2 all was well.

Also make sure none of your add-ons are mucking around with this setting. Some might do so for privacy reasons and that's when Pixiv rejects you.

better late than never.

worked like a charm. thanks a million. recently it went from not showing images at all (except thumbnails) to showing images on like one out of every 20 pages loaded, and i just decided to look around and see if there had been any progress made on this problem.

this thread is like the third or fourth thing that comes up when you google "firefox pixiv".

but yeah, had about 20 tabs open with only two loaded properly, changed those settings, reloaded all the tabs and everything is loading properly now.

thanks again.

I have been having problems with Pixiv (with Firefox and even other browsers) as of lately after I had moved and got the internet back up, I'm wondering if anyone has had the same problem.
Basically the appearance is wrong with missing content like images and search bar or pixiv just wont show up.
I'm not tech savy and nothing seems to work, I've even tried the above step, can anyone give advice as of help?

Reinstall firefox.

I have problem with javascript on pixiv. Looks like javascript isn't work. This (http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/7066/loltwm.jpg) is main page looks like. I tried firefox, opera, IE and chrome, with different settings, but all browsers have this problem. Reinstalled, uninstalled and completely f***ed jre, activex, flash player, wscript and tried over 9000 script issue solutions. But still have it.
Oh, and if I try to connect with web proxy - it works normally.

Rather than Javascript, that's a lack of CSS, isn't it?

If it works fine with a web proxy (going through a proxy site, or using a proxy server?), then it's unlikely to be the browser's fault...
Feels like your ISP or something else on your network is blocking any large files from pixiv.

It's work with proxy site. And yeah, I can't directly load .css and .js from pixiv.

http://source.pixiv.net/source/css/index.css
http://source.pixiv.net/source/css/header.css
http://source.pixiv.net/source/css/event.css
http://source.pixiv.net/source/js/tinyscrolling.js

I even tried download it with Download Master, but nothing.

Maybe it's time for virus scan...
UPD: "Tor" is fine too. Maybe it's time to change ISP

I pretty much have the same exact problem as Doppelori with Pixiv and I still don't know what to do to fix it, what I've tried has not helped at all. So please, if anyone has any clue on how to fix it please lend me a helping hand.

Just wanted to confirm that works for Opera as well

Had this problem for a while now, and enabling the sending of referral info does work perfectly

Thanks a bunch volphax!

No problem, glad to be of help. I had forgotten about this since it was years ago :D

I've totally upgraded to Chrome since then though >.>
