Many graphic images are missing on major websites like ZDNet.com, PCMag.com, and
also on CNet.com.  The same pages render perfectly in MS-Internet Explorer 6.0.
 This happens both in Navigator and in Mail&News.  Just look at these pages
side-by-side in Mozilla and IE6:
http://www.cnet.com/
http://www.zdnet.com/
http://www.pcmag.com/


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.cnet.com/
2. go to http://www.zdnet.com/
3. go to http://www.pcmag.com/

Actual Results:  
missing images

Expected Results:  
should display as in IE6

Could this be that these web sites use Microsoft IE-specific coding techniques?
 Is Mozilla sticking to mainstream standards and refusing to comply with
Microsoft de facto standards?

If this is indeed a case of conflicting standards, then what will be the
resolution?  I prefer Mozilla because I feel it's less of a security "target". 
But if it refuses to display images, essentially to stand up to Microsoft
bullying, then its usefulness to me is reduced to zero as a primary browser.

Works for me - no images missing when testing on Linux, day old CVS.

Could it simply be that you have blocked for images not coming from the
originating server? 

(preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Images
make sure you have checked the option to "accept all images".)

Reporter:
Please do this :
- Check if you accept all images in edit\preferences\Privacy&..\images\[]Accept   
  all images
- delete your disk cache in edit\preferences\adavanced\cache

Reporter mailed:

"the problem turned out to be just the image setting."

Resolving as WFM.
