The problem is with the option to show images from the originating server only,
in previous versions of Mozilla when I had this option selected the page showed
up fine, in version 1.4, it looks almost empty.  I'm pretty sure that some of
the images at least are from buy.com's server.

I have this same problem in Mozilla 1.4, but my preferences are set to accept
all images.

On the log in page the "Login" link and image are visible in IE, but not moz.

When attempting to edit my account none of the "Edit" images or links is
visible, or functional in Moz (they work fine in IE), making the page completely
useless.

I have complained to the buy.com customer support and received the following
response:
