After surfing for a while the images are not shown anymore, you just see their
frames. if you right click and choose view Image, then it will be shown in a
seperate window. I have had this problem for a while now so I think it is either
from mozilla 1.4b or even from 1.3. I have not experienced this problem on
windows. I am running on a Redhat 9.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start browsing
2. continue on random sites
3. after a while images are not shown any more

Actual Results:  
no images are shown.


I put the severity to major because Images are a very important part of the Web
interface and should always be shown.

does shift-reload bring the images back?

Comment 5

[Jim Dunn]

Does clearing out the cache help?
Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Cache => Clear Cache?

If so probably a dup of bug 205893

These sites always show the symptom
1. www.cnn.com
2.http://news.bbc.co.uk

It doesnt help to restart the browser, the problem remains. The system I am
running on is a Redhat 9 and the mozilla is mozilla1.4 with XFT and GTK support.

make sure you have the preference privacy->images->accept all images.

after looking at the settings I found out that it was set to: show images just
from the same server. So of course this didnt apply to some major sites.

I would like to have an option also to accept imagesfrom the same domain. That
would make the browser even better.
