Firefox reads PNG pictures as GIF and doesn't display them
I've updated to 2.0.0.3 and since then when I try to load a page with a PNG image, I can't see the PNG image.
I've checked the MIMEs and there is the right association with Quicktime.
If I go to Page Info and click on the link for that png picture, it tells me that it's a GIF picture with dimension of 1px by 1px, and that explains why I can't see it, but I haven't figured out how to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try a new profile and test it before you migrate or re-install anything on it

Doubtful. Assuming you don't have much time invested in your profile I would suggest you follow malliz's links.
I've followed the instruction and created a brand new profile, but I have the same problem.

This would be one, but there are others.
On top of the page in the description area I get

Quicktime MIME settings are different than file associations. If PNG is enabled in the QT browser settings, it could interfere with Firefox's native PNG support.

Firefox can view png images without the need of a plugin.
That image does display fine for me.
I did that and it didn't work.
I'm so ready to give up and just accept that I can't see some pictures. lol

Enter about:plugins in the address bar. See if PNG is listed under any of the Quicktime plugins. If it is, then the plugin is still in the Firefox plugin folder. Follow the steps here to remove those and then reset your MIME settings, ensuring that PNG is not enabled.

Also, if PNG is still listed in your Firefox file types options (manage), remove that association.
