Graphics missing from web pages (Yahoo)
Graphic images next to news story headlines were missing.
From this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1079809
I found this answer fixed the problem: The above didn't fix the problem, however there is a setting in Fonts and Colors under Advanced that is marked Fallback Text encoding. When i changed this to show Other(including Western European) the problem was resolved. The buttons now are correct on all websites.
My question is why? What changed in Firefox 40 (40.0.3 to be exact) that caused this issue?

Do you mean the icons for sign in (head), mail (envelope), and settings (gear) on the right end of the line with the search bar?
If I understand correctly, in the "Advanced" Font dialog, you changed from
"Fallback Text Encoding: Default for current locale"
to
"Fallback Text Encoding: Other (incl. Western European)"
and that solved the problem of Firefox displaying codes in place of those icons.
I'm not sure why that would be relevant to the downloadable fonts used to display icons. Could it be a coincidence -- if you reverse the change, does the problem return?
If the problem does return, hmm...

It's not icons. It is the small jpg in front of each news story. It only fixed the problem temporarily. when I close the browser and re-open it the same problem occurs.
changing the settings this time did not help.
maybe it is a yahoo problem, although it does open normally in IE, but not in Chrome.
very strange
here is a screen shot from chrome- it is half and half.
Oh, you are the fourth Yahoo user with missing image issues in recent days. Since you have a disabled Avast extension, I'll just jump to a conclusion here...
Avast Web Shield There is a recent issue with one of the Web Shield features blocking some images on Yahoo. If you use Avast, you could try switching off scanning HTTPS connections to see whether this is the cause in your case:
- Open the Avast dashboard on the affected system.
- Select Settings from the left sidebar menu.
- Switch to Active Protection.
- Click on Customize next to Web Shield.
- Uncheck the "Enable HTTPS Scanning" option and click ok
