Online shopping using WaterFox (example screenshot attached) at Walmart & other websites, preview webpages are not showing images. However using Microsoft Edge web browser the preview images load just fine. (example screenshot attached) I disabled all extensions in WaterFox but it made no difference

I did explore the "knowledge base" but could not find a fix for the problem, but would welcome any help

you could send my way. Also have a problem on some web pages that use a "chat" application. Clicking on the "chat" link does not activate the chat window. However, there again, chat window opens fine in MS Edge. Thanks!

I don't think anyone reads or uses these support pages. OR, they are too lazy or too stupid to answer simple questions......Me!! I'm just too stupid! There, I admit it. So what's your excuse?

Being rude or insulting is not a good way to ask for help.

Note: Waterfox is a separate program based on Firefox.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Ahh! Yes, being rude or insulting is not a way to make friends nor gain information. However, it sometimes does have it's rewards. I think this has been one of those times. Thank You for your response. I will seek other ways to resolve the issue.
