On my mailbox, only the messages themselves display. Everything else is either not visible at all, or it is very faint. On my Yahoo home page, some of the articles show pictures with them. But many still have a place for the pictures, but they only show up as blank white boxes. Neither of these problems occur on Explorer or Chrome. Please help. I don't want to switch to a different browser because I have numerous websites bookmarked and I don't want to lose them.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Missing icons can be supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) in case you see little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.

You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
