Using a laptop with Vista (German), Firefox4 and Gmail (both English), pics embedded within a text of an email do not display. They do display, however, with a PC operating with XP, Firefox 3.?? and Gmail (all English). Do settings need to be changed in Firefox4 to have such pics displayed using the laptop?

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.

See:

  • Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
  • Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
  • Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
  • Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
