After a recent update (24.6.0) remote images in all emails stopped displaying... I've checked

permissions.default.image (1) mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image (true)

but images still won't display

Finally! It was set on Use System Proxy Settings... changed to No Proxy and the images are back! Thanx for your suggestion - I wouldn't have thought of that one  :o)

Have you checked View>>Message Body>>Original HTML?

Yes, I checked that also... still no luck

I also saved an email as an html document, and I can see the images when I open the html, so I know they are actually in the email.

Is it possible you have an anti-virus program that is blocking the images?

It never has blocked them: MalwareBytes SuperAntiSpyware Microsoft Security Essentials

This seems to be a new problem so something is not working properly.

The only way to know for sure is to turn them off and see what happens.

I assume you have clicked the "show remote images" on the message header.

Other than that, I am out of ideas, unless you want to try to allow all images from everyone.

I never get the "show remote images" option... that seems to be the real problem

Something else to try is to make sure you are not using a proxy.

Tools>>Options>>Advanced>>Network & Disk Space>>Settings and check no proxy.
