How can I get Firefox to load "Background" images in Windows 7(32 Bit)? They will not load in Windows 7 Professional but will load in XP Virtual console when I installed Firefox there. How do I get it to load properly in the normal Windows 7 window?

I have a Toshiba laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q740 @1.73GHz 1.73 GHz , 4.00 GB RAM, 32-bit Operating system

I noticed the problem after installing Firefox 4.0.1, but by uninstalling and reinstalling found it was also a problem with the previous version.

There are no boxes displayed on this form, but on my XP desktop computer, they are displayed. I have both open so I know where to type.

I installed Firefox on the XP virtual console on this machine and it worked fine, but not using Windows 7.

Thank you. The first link worked! Surprising because I thought I had followed that solution prior to posting my question.
