Images / .gif animations don't load

Post by Filipp0s »

Image 1
If you cannot see the image below check under: Tools | Options | Content | Load Images <put checkmark here
Image

Image 2
If you cannot see the image below check under:
1. Type about:config in the location bar
2. Filter for permissions.default.image
3. Change value to 1
Image

Image 3
If you only see frame one of the animation below:
1.a. Type about:config in the location bar
b. Filter for image.animation_mode
c. Change value to normal</ul>
2. Enable animations from ZoneAlarm [screenshot]

Image


Image 4
If you cannot see the image below, some adblocking software is probably blocking it. [This is the wanted behaviour, I've just added this step for troubleshooting]

Image 5
<a src="javascript:document.getElementById('myimage').setAttribute('src','http://img307.imageshack.us/img307/1337/blimp59ck.png')">First click here</a>; if after clicking the link, the blimp image does not appear check under: Tools | Options | Content | JavaScript <put checkmark here
<img id="myimage" src="http://img307.imageshack.us/img307/6524/1pixel13np.png"></img>

One more note
If some images don't appear and at the same time background and text colours are displayed wrong, read this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong

Still cannot see some images? Read this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_ani ... o_not_load

Great post, Filipp0s! This should make diagnosis much easier.

Thanks for a great post, Filipp0s. However, I am still having a minor problem at #5. I have to click at "click here first" to see the image. After saw the pic, if I refresh the page, the I wouldn't be able to see the image again. I checked the settings as you suggested, I had the same settings. Any idea?

thank you.

Nice post, Filipp0s. Didn't even realize I had a problem with 'Images / animations' but I was unable to get Image 5 to appear even though I had the correct Javascript settings. After poking around I finally tracked it down to the 'Image Zoom 0.1.9.20041021' extension. After disabling it, the image appeared. Not sure why that extension is causing that behavior, but I never use it anyway, so I uninstalled it. Maybe this can help anybody who has the same problem.

I read another post Yesterday or today that said web accelerators would cause animations to not work. I turned mine off and sure enough the poster was right.

Image four I can't see unless I disable my Norton adblocker, however that doesn't solve my problem since even if I disable it I can't see the images I am having problems with. It also doesn't explain why I could see those same images on Firefox and with the adblocker enabled yesterday. I can still see the images if I use Netscape, though.

If I right click and then try 'view image' it claims the file cannot be found and to check the location and try again.

Any suggestions? Forgive me if this is something easily solved but I am less than technically minded at the best of times and am at a complete loss.

Thanks in advance.

I am having lots of problems with Quicktime and Flash Images. Anyone know what applications or extensions interfere with these formats?

No #4 unless AdBlock (w/Filterset.G) is disabled.
Wondering which one of those filters is blocking #4.....

I think Image shack is broken right now. These images worked for me earlier and now only #1 works and #4 would probably work if I disabled Adblock. I tried to go to Image Shack website and couldn't connect.
