When I try to load the website http://gao-subs.com/ , it seems that firefox doesnt show the background image (and several other stuff) but it works well on IE. I've asked several other people and they seem to have no problem viewing the website using ff.

Also, when I came here looking for help, I was unable to both register and login using firefox ( hence I am currently using IE to post this ). It gives an Access denied

You do not have permission to access this page. error when I try to register/login.

I've already tried clearing all my cookies and cache but that didn't work. I had also disabled any customisations I made to ff as well as disabling ipv6 but to no avail. Any help provided is highly appreciated.

Regards SE

Instant solution. No idea why mine was set to 0 though. Thanks!

For those who come in later on with a similar problem, you just need to edit your config for network.http.sendRefererHeader and change its value to 2 (2 is the default value. See link by cor-el for more info)
