Random images are not loading in Firefox 3.6. Probem does not occur with IE.

When using Firefox in any site with images (eg Google Images or eBay etc) a small random number of images fail to load, and some of those which load do so after an unusual delay. This problem began post FF3.6 upgrade, and does not occur in IE.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Problem does not occur on FF 3.5, but then I upgraded to 3.6.6 and there it is.

Try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window - See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
