I randomly get black boxes instead of images when loading a webpage
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
Ever since I upgraded to the newest version of Firefox, I've been getting a lot of blacked out boxes instead of the actual images. When I right click "View Image", the image does show up, but I don't want to keep right clicking boxes just to see an image. I also checked to see if I might how blocked the image on AdBlock or on "Page Info", but nothing was marked. The blacking out of images seems to happen randomly at different times. From different tabs opened, not all images are blacked out. On the same page, some images will be blacked out while some show up. Also, I've for the same web page, one day I'll open it up and everything is fine, but the next day I open up the same URL and the images are blacked out. It just seems so random. I was thinking my internet speed could have something to do with it. The blacking out also happens more frequently when I have multiple tabs open or if the images are larger. However, I did not have this problem until I upgraded Firefox.
This happened
A few times a week
I upgraded to the newest version of Firefox

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."
If not, see this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...
