Background images are not rendering while they are in all other browsers.

Firefox is having problems with certain .jpg images that I have uploaded to a hosting service.

(Ex: http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3991/hbbgardenorangepop3.jpg)

When you set this image as your web page's background image, the image will not be rendered. However, if you go directly to the URL, the image will be rendered (except in the Beta release, where the image won't even render when you go to the URL directly).

However, if you go to ANY other browser, the image is rendered correctly (both when you go directly to the URL and when you use the image as your background).

Sorry, the parenthesis at the end of the URL is causing problems. Here is the URL: http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3991/hbbgardenorangepop3.jpg)

Ugh, sorry! I did it again. Here is the real URL: http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3991/hbbgardenorangepop3.jpg

I assume that you want to add that image as a background on web pages. How are you adding that background image?

Are you using code in userContent.css ? If that is the case then please post the code, otherwise provide the steps so we can check what goes wrong.

I am using it as a background in standard CSS:


body {

 background-image: url("http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3991/hbbgardenorangepop3.jpg");


Or, if you didn't see above, if you go directly to the image URL in the Firefox beta, it doesn't render.
