    Ok I've had this problem with firefox that I can't seem to load images on certain sites. I went to the mozille diagnostic page for this issue but I can see all the images and I pass the test. The thing is all images load fine with IE7 and Safari (Windows ver.), but in firefox there are just empty spots in the page where images are suppose to be. I've already disabled all my add-ons and disabled NOD32 ver.3.

    example #1: As you can see all the ads and other crap loads fine (thumbnails etc...)

    [​IMG]

    example #2: Now as we scroll down we see that blank white spaces where the image is suppose to be.

    [​IMG]

    example #3: This is what its suppose to look like (viewed in IE7)

    [​IMG]

    Can anyone fix this?

    Are you using Vista or XP? What version of Firefox?
    Have you tried to clear the cache?

    Firefox version: 2.0.0.11
    OS: Windows XP w/SP2

    Tried clearing cache - no luck

    I have IE tab installed and yes it does load with IE Tab but I'd rather try and fix the problem instead of having to use IE tabs every time I visit a site like that.

    disabled IE Tab on both 2.0.0.11 and Minefield, tested under XP SP2:
    . page showed up correctly
    . review ur Tool->option->content->advanced and see if "allow page to choose their own fonts ..." is checked?

    cheers ...
