Can you list any extensions you have installed or try it in safe mode or with a
new profile? I have a feeling that this is caused by an adblocking extension.

Thanks!!  I looked around and saw in the html something about javascript.
Although there was no message about this on my screen, I went to the
Mozilla preferences.  Under Advanced/ Scripts & Plug-ins
I had already checked Enable Javacript for Navigator.
But "Allow scripts to:" were all (??) off.  I turned them on.
Now it works!!  Problem identified.

What is the minimal set?

I turned off all of these:

Move or resize existing windows
Raise or lower windows
Hide the status bar
Change status bar text
Disable or replace context menus

and turned on this:

Change images

IT WORKS!  Problem solved.  You need to have in preferences
Advanced, Scripts & Plug-ins, that JavaScript can Change images.

Thanks for nudging me in the right direction!

This bug will help the next person who comes along, so it
was not a waste of time ...
