Image load error (HTTP/2 403 Forbidden) on some websites

Since Tor Browser 12.0 images on some websites issued by Cloudflare show “HTTP/2 403 Forbidden” error most of the time.
The problem is on all platforms [https://old.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/znn95v/new_release_tor_browser_1201/].
For example: When I visit [https://bigthink.com/the-future/fusion-power-scientific-triumph-not-commercial/], the image [https://bigthink.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Scyllac_complete.jpg?resize=480,270] won’t load, after trying to reload the image output in web consle shows “HTTP/2 403 Forbidden”. But you can open the image in a new tab.
This problem appears on some other websites as well and they are all issued by Cloudflare.

Edit: This information is incorrect. The error is not limited to the websites issued by Cloudflare.

i can confirm that the image doesn’t load.
using [ Reload Image ] in the context menu (right click on the object) works.

there are many websites that don’t work properly at the moment.
especially (preview) images are missing.

Thanks for the bug report @OnionHead! I’ve opened a ticket for the devs to investigate this issue here:

Update: It seems like this is a temporary issue, the error on a non-Cloudflare website is fixed.

This issue seems to have been fixed by cloudflare if the example website is to be believed.

I can confirm that the errors are gone on other Cloudflare websites as well.
Thank you all for the help.
