What`s wrong with the pictures?

I can't see pictures. (Firefox, Windows 7). Just empty space. Happens for two hours now. The shops small pictures and the pictures on the front page show, but when I visit the individual pages of an item, no picture, nothing. And no pictures in the gallery or in the forum (but they load, if I tell the browser to load them individually). What's wrong?

Now the front page throws empty placeholders as well ...
I'm still seing the pictures.
What browser are you using? What, if any, antivirus??
No problems here. CloudFlare problems maybe?
I would guess that this has to do with the webp compression being done by cloudflare. Somehow it seems like your browser is telling cloudflare it understands webp images but can't display them.
I would recommend reinstalling firefox and make sure you are using the latest version.
I am using Firefox, but not quite the latest version, on win 7 and am having no problems
F... webp is the culprit. Newest Firefox shows it, every other software on my PC NOT. I HATE IT WITH A PASSION!
Waterfox still shows JPEG.
If you're using Firefox:
Right click on image and chose "View Image Info". A separate box pops up with a link for the image and a preview of the image in it. Click the "Save As" button and it will save the original .jpg. I am using the latest version of FF.

I recently had the same issue on firefox. I had to type about:config
in browser, the image.webp.enabled needs to be set to true
and image.http.accept set to */*
That fixed it for me
Then you can right click and download the original without any extra steps.
Actually mine was set to true and I was still seeing webp images on some of them. I had to toggle it off then on again for it to work. Strange, but effective. LOL

Chrome is showing pictures for me.
