This is due to adblocking.  The URL of a sample image is

http://ai.pricegrabber.com/images/btn_shop_7.gif

I don't really see anything in there which would imply it should get caught by the adblocker, so confirming.  Seems like a clear false positive to me.

I *did* have CamiTools installed. I uninstalled it and it is still blocking the images.

When you uninstalled it, did you also try a clean profile to be sure no other settings had been set that hadn't been removed?

Yes, this is a bug in Camino's ad-blocking (in Web Features); we just don't know how/why it's getting blocked yet.

You can temporarily disable ad-blocking, reload the page, and the images will appear.

That is it. I disabled the Camino ad-blocking and reinstalled the CamiTools (with ad-blocking). 

I can live with this - You can flag it as a dupe if you want.

Thanks to anyone / everyone that helped.

The link containing the image is to:
  http://www.pricegrabber.com/rd.php/...
and the ad-blocker blocks
  a:link[href*="/rd."] img

That's one of Simon's original rules; Simon, do you recall what it was supposed to block?

No, I don't. I'm a bit surprised we have something so generic in there.

We'll remove it, then.  

I think back in the day Yahoo used to have lots of "rd" crap in their ad links, but I couldn't find any in a quick search.
