After downloading and installing Firefox 1.0.4 to patch potential security
breach in program, certain graphics no longer display.  I have noticed this
especially with .jpg graphics.  I notice this every time I access eBay.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Visit eBay.
2.  Go to any individual auction page where a picture of the item would normally
be displayed.


Actual Results:  
3.  There is always a blank spot where the displayed image ought to be.  

Expected Results:  
4.  Accessing the same page via MS-IE always displays the graphic correctly.

Do you have
Tool - Options - Content - Allow pictures from originating website only selected
if so unselect it.

Dear Jaime,
Thanks for your excellent advice!  Yes, indeed that box that only allows
"graphics from originating website" somehow appears to have been checked during
the reinstallation process.  I know I certainly did not check it.  At any rate,
I unchecked the box, and now my graphics are all working fine.  Thanks a million.
