For example:When I try to buy tickets in Ticketmaster, I can never see the characters to type for security. Same thing when setting up a new Hotmail account. Where do I go to enable the character feature? Is this a Firefox issue or a MAC issue?

  • You can check the exceptions in Firefox > Preferences > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
  • You can check the Tools > Page Info > Media tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images. See:
