If you are experiencing difficulty downloading or viewing images through Firefox, follow the troubleshooting instructions below.

This article applies to:

• Still image file formats such as PNG, GIF, and JPG
• Animated file formats like animated GIF

This article does not apply to the following formats:

Note: If you're having trouble with a website, click the icon in the address bar to see if Firefox has blocked parts of the page that are not secure. See Mixed content blocking in Firefox for details.

Sometimes problems loading websites can be fixed by clearing the cookies and cache.

1. Click the Library button on your toolbar. (If you don't see it there, click the menu button then click Library.) Click History and select Clear Recent History….
2. In the Time Range to clear: drop-down, select Everything.
3. Below the drop-down menu, select both Cookies and Cache. Make sure other items you want to keep are not selected.
4. Click Clear Now.

Firefox allows you to prevent images from loading for certain websites to make pages load faster. If you are having trouble viewing images for a specific website:

1. Click the Site Identity Button (the website’s icon to the left of its address).
2. Click the More information… button in the prompt. The Page Info window will open.
3. Select the Permissions panel.
4. Make sure Allow is selected next to Load Images.
5. Close the Page Info window.

Some Internet security software (including antivirus and anti-spyware programs, firewalls, privacy programs, and others) may identify and block certain images as web bugs or may prevent images from animating. Check the settings for your Internet security program to make sure it allows images to load.

Extensions are add-ons that add or modify Firefox features. See the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for instructions on how to disable or uninstall extensions that may cause images not to load in Firefox.

If images on websites load, but don't look right or don't look the way they do in other browsers:

• If you are using any sort of web accelerator software, disable it and see if images load properly. For more information, see the documentation that came with the software.
• If the image area shows text or some form of gibberish, see the MozillaZine Knowledge Base article Page displays as gibberish.

• The site that displays the images may be down or experiencing difficulties. To verify, try loading the site from a different computer or browser.
• Some pathnames to images contain backslashes (e.g. www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar\www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar). In browsers other than Internet Explorer, these pathnames do not load. If you see that the image's URL contains a backslash, contact the site's webmaster about the issue.

• You may have modified one of your Firefox preference settings which is causing images not to show. You can either reset all preferences or else try the following:

1. Type about:config in the address bar and press EnterReturn.
   A warning page may appear. Click I accept the risk!Accept the Risk and Continue to continue to the about:config page.
2. Find www.cronistalascolonias.com.arnt_color_use in the list of preferences. Its value should be set to 0 by default.
3. Right-clickHold down the control key while you click on the preference if its value is other than 0 and select ResetClick Reset if its value is other than 0.
