Make sure you don't have your Image Acceptance Policy set to "Accept All Images"
Edit->Preferences->Privacy & Security->Images 

If that isn't it, what happens when you clear cache?
Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Cache

#4:
Cleared my cache, and it is already set to accept all images. Still no star images.

Comment 6

I see the stars, using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3)
Gecko/20030313 on Linux Mandrake 9.1.

It appears that the netflix page is using some Javascript to change the stars
when you mouseover them. Do you have Javascript enabled? When I disable
Javascript, I get no stars.

[Jim Dunn]

No, it isn't disabling javascript.  When I do that I don't see
the outline or anything (like the screen shot indicates).
Can you create a "new user" and see if that user has the
same problem on the same machine?  I am wondering if there
is some weird pref setting that might be messing you up,
a new user will have a fresh profile.

Comment 8

[Kevin Gadd]

I created a new user profile and the stars now show.

Comment 9

[Jim Dunn]

ahhhhh

Kevin, is the following option NOT selected for you???

Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Scripts & Plugins->Allow scripts to
_Change images

If I uncheck this, then the stars don't appear.
Please retry, if this works for you, we will close
this as 'invalid'.

Thanks

None of the options to allow scripts to change things were selected. That is 
strange; before I reinstalled mozilla about a week ago they *were* selected. 
Nonetheless, that fixes it. Thanks, jim, the stars are there now. :)
