Firefox upgrade problem →[More:]I downloaded the latest Firefox upgrade today and am having problems viewing images on some pages, such as ebay.

I remember having this problem before, and it was a simple tweak that fixed it, but of course can't remember now what it was.

Any ideas?

(I've got Java & Javascript enabled, and unchecked the box about displaying images for originating website only, btw)

I find that saving my bookmarks and blowing away my profile folder is the easiest solution to most 'fox version update woes.

If yer on Windows XP, your profile folder is in

C:\Documents and Settings\]YOUR USERNAME]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[RANDOM ALPHANUMERICS].default

Everything's inside here. Pull out your bookmarks.html file from the folder and trash the rest.

I think it's something to do with Zone Alarm's privacy settings. I've been Googling and hae found some info, will follow that, see if it works. But it's nearly 2am here so I'll do it in the morning.

Couldn't wait until morning, lol. I had to reset the ZA database. Frickin' thing. Now I have to set accesses to each and every programme.

Oh well, at least I can look at things on eBay now :-)
