Why has Firefox suddenly quit showing pictures in eBay listings.

About two or three weeks ago I noticed that Firefox no longer showed pictures on eBay. Only a blank box indicating where the picture would normally show. Yes I am properly logged on to the site, and navigation is otherwise normal.

With eBay on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.

First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)

Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.

This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show.

Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

Illogical though it may seem, especially if everything works OK in IE, Chrome and Opera, try updating your video drivers. Firefox 3.6.14 seems particularly demanding on video drivers compared to other browsers.
