Firefox/forum problem displaying attached images

<< < (2/3) > >>

Close.   I'm suggesting that the new operating system comes with internet options set to a default.  For example when I went to Vista, I had issues with getting images in e-mail, where none existed before.  Firefox is just taking the cue from the INTERNET OPTIONS for your operating system, so Firefox isn't really the problem.

If you poke around in the control panel -> internet options, I'm sure you'll find the fix there.

My bad....

Firefox in the tools->content there is a check for loading images automatically.  There's an exceptions button to the right.  The checkbox should be checked, and you probably shouldn't have any exceptions.

There's also a thread indicating a realplayer add-on can cause this.

I suggest you give this link a try....

I just upgraded to the newest FireFox.  I now have the exact same situation.  The older version showed the image, but the new version does not...it shows the link.

When I go to a website that uses image scripting AND mod-rewrite to modify the url, it works fine.  When it's a plain <img src=show.php> format, the images don't show up.

Well, I don't have time for this anymore.  I have a website with image scripting that needs to be fixed <grin>.

Okay, I can abandon my reply that none of your previous suggestions made any sense. ;D

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

I take it then you think this is a Firefox bug, rather than a configuration issue?

BTW, were you on Firefox 3.5.6 before? I just updated to 3.5.7 today, but already had the problem with 3.5.6.

My version was 2.? ... a couple of years old.

I'm in the firefox forum now looking for an answer.  No doubt I have some clients that have seen this already and just not mentioned it. Gad I hate surprises !!

BTW, it's definitely a security issue.  Scripted images are unsafe because images are downloaded onto your computer.  If they are programs instead, it wouldn't be good.
