118282 - loading bad image should display something other then the URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 9796

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

BMP RLE images (and I think I've seen it before on other types of images) that
can't display properly, just show the URL in the content area. Quite misleading
(Is this a HTML document with it's own URL as the text?). Perhaps a broken image
icon, or even a error page would be better.

BMP RLE images: (display fine with another program)

Another case... an HTML doc served as a JPEG. URL is the display.

I'm seeing this problem a lot. Mostly with jpg. Seems like Moz'll show the image
for a split second and then change its mind.
