Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041125 Firefox/0.9.1+

After upgrading from version 0.9 to 1.0, some web pages are failing to load
images.  Not all images, just some border images.  You should probably see what
I'm talking about, e-mail me and I'll send you some screenshots.  I've tried
wiping all traces (including registry) that I could find clean and
re-installing, but there's evidently something that I'm missing because fresh
installs of ANY version now have this problem.  Installing on a virtual machine
I get normal browsing, and I haven't been able to reproduce the situation,
however once in this state, I can't seem to get out of it.  I've even tried
clearing out my HOSTS file (which was a good 400k, I've got a backup for when I
can fix this problem).

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install version 0.9
2. Wait until you notice that 1.0 is out (saw it on /.)
3. Update and check out some web pages.

Actual Results:  
Large numbers of images would fail to load on webpages, oftentimes resulting in
poorly formatted pages.  Viewing in MSIE or a VM with Firefox showed that pages
looked normal.

Expected Results:  
Loaded all images cleanly displaying the webpage as intended.

I'm submitting this as a Minor bug because nobody else seems to be whining about
it, and it's not really stopping me from using Firefox.  I did try to go back to
IE for about a week, but found myself screaming obcenities after clicking the
middle mouse button to open a new tab only get get the stupid scroll thingie.

Did you try a new Firefox profile ?

Oddly enough, I had deleted my old profile, but I just tried changing from the
default to a new default and it works fine.  Thanks.  I don't know what went
wrong, I guess I missed something when I was deleting it all.  I'll change the
status to FIXED.  If anyone else has the problem, at least there's a really
REALLY simple workaround.  I feel like such a dunce  :)

Please resolve it as WFM if there was no actual fix.
