Here's a strange one. Generally I do e-mail and Facebook on an old Black Macbook running Ubuntu. When I want to do more complicated things, particularly with pictures, I have a Macbook pro with an SSD for speed and Ubuntu running under VMWare Fusion. The Mac OS gives me Photoshop Elements and IMAGEmini and browsers that are separated from the ones that I use for e-mail, Facebook and Twitter by the VM in the hope that this might provide more security.
Here's the problem. In recent days I have noticed that when logged on to Facebook using Firefox under Ubuntu/Fusion, pictures (loaded by self and others) disappear at random. Everything else works perfectly. When logged on using Firefox under native Ubuntu or Mac OS and no VM the problem goes away.
I'm not sure that there is an easy answer to this, but is interesting that Facebook reacts differently to Firefox running under Linux if it is running in a VM.
