Why do pages that consist solely of a jpg or png result in the message that the image cannot be displayed because it contains errors?

Whenever I click on URL links to pages that consist solely of a jpeg or png, I get a text-only message 'the image cannot be displayed because it contains errors'. Yet if I copy the same URL and try it in IE, the image displays just fine. This has been happening for some time, thru several upgrades of Firefox.

That is the default text that Firefox displays on a tab.
As soon as the image has loaded then that text is replaced by the image.

If you keep seeing that text then something is blocking images.
