Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.


If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.

  • Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.

Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"

Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images

  • Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
  • If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.

Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.


Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Note that these settings affect background images.

See also:


There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Did you check the date and time on the computer as that has been reported as a possible cause of this issue (checking for expired certificates via OCSP fails)?

more options

Right click on Desktop 's Firefox icon > Shortcut > Target > Add some text

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox 29 US\firefox.exe" -profile test -no-remote (see attatched image)

Then run it
