PC Gurus... Your Assistance Please

TXSTYLE · 10-20-2009, 01:25 PM

Guys... For some reason I am unable to see images like on shopping sites: Amazon. Not all images but the "description images" for the products listed. I have not changed anything or setting other than routine updates. Keep in mind that I can see images here and everywhere else. But I also went to target.com and same thing: Some images show but not the "product image".

Your help as always is appreciated.

Also i run Comodo & AVG 8.5

I'm thinking it's some type of settings while browsing...?

download a different browser such as firefox or chrome and try the same site to see if the pictures load.

IE works fine! So definitely a "browser issue". I prefer Firefox so what do I do to correct this??? Settings??

you can right click on an image and do "block images from (insert site)" chances are you blocked images from the site you're talking about, look around the options on how to unblock the images.

I would suggest you just uninstall Firefox, reboot, and reinstall to see if that fixes it. Try Jeffie's suggestion before doing this, though.

Thanks for help and suggestions guys. I am aware of the above task however I have searched for but not found a way to correct this in tools.

I thought about the uninstall and reinstall but I will lose so much info, favorites, shortcuts etc.

This explains how to back up your firefox profile and restore it after you reinstall.

Back up settings and reinstall.

For sites that aren't working in FF but work in IE, you can use the IETab plugin. It lets you use IE inside FF.

Wow.... that did not do it and was a pain in the ass to say the least. The part of trying to reinstall my profile kept crashing firefox and I had to go in and replace each item from profile folder...

Thx anyway.

To me firefox like a PC it gives you sooo many options that people get annoyed with it when they screw it up and wish it was watered down with zero options so there's no room for error. Mac anyone?

Tools > Options > Content > Load Images Automatically

try that.

Next to load images did you click on the exceptions tab?
