- In your browser use about:config (accept the risk, you can always fix it later)
- In the search start typing urlclassifier in the output there is a couple of edits you need to make:
In urlclassifier.features.socialtracking.annotate.blacklistTables and urlclassifier.features.socialtracking.blacklistTables
Remove the social-tracking-protection-twitter-digest256 entries
In urlclassifier.trackingAnnotationTable and urlclassifier.trackingTable
Remove the social-track-digest256 entries
If you do that correctly, the images should show and hopefully an update to the safebrowsing folder will not effect your browser (only a major browser update might)
The main risk thats opened by doing this is Twitter can set tracking cookies (plus any sits blocked in the social-track-digest) but for the most part thats only a problem if you login to social network sites, as they'll find it harder to connect your browser connection if you don't have an account you use with them.
Those about:config changes seems to have worked, for now. Since I always set Firefox to not update (currently through group policy regedit), I'll hold off on the other measures until they become necessary.
Thanks for all the detective work, Stryder. Things like this make me tempted to abandon Firefox.
