Using Firefox 5.0 and the latest e=mail program, embedded graphics in e-mail do not display. If forwarded, the graphics will display in the forwarded mail. This does not occur using I.E. 9.0

Chosen solution

  • Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
  • Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
  • Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
  • Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).

If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Thanks for your efforts, but the only graphics that do not display are embedded in e-mail received. The graphics will display when the mail is replied to or forwarded.
