Is "Load images" checked in Firefox->Preferences->Weeb Features?

...and is its sub-pref *unchecked*?

Howard, make sure in the preferences load images and load 3rd party images is
checked.

Closing bug because reporter has not responded to questions and reported build
is old.

Howard, if you still have this problem with a recent build, reopen this bug.

You proposed checking "load images" and "load 3rd party images" in preferences. Did so, on first one, 
but there is no "3rd party" checkbox.

You also mentioned no response (from me) on questions. No one ever asked me any questions.

Bug persists. See http://www.nytimes.com : on right hand side of home page of site, there is a place for 
a chart showing stock market performance. Graphic image does not load but link works from the 
position of the graphic image. Image is visible in other browsers (Safari, etc.).

Also, as originally reported, can right-click on image and "view image" works in new window.
