Any gallery on Deviant art, as well as attached images in Simple Machines based forums do not load when clicked to enlarge. Also the anomaly of the animation at: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html does not load at all.

Many icons in other forums show broken, when they aren't. Reload page will show a different batch of broken icons. No icons on http://www.imagedump.com show at all, yet user loaded images do.

Same issue in FF 3.0a series. 1.0.x-1.5 work OK.

Similar in issue to bug #364565 except my permissions.default.image is set to "1" and the images do not have to be in a different domain to fail.

Does not occur on other online galleries that I frequent, or other forums that allow attachments.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to any deviantart gallery
2.Chose a picture
3.Click to enlarge, image, including thumbnail disappears
Actual Results:  
Image vanishes.

Expected Results:  
Image thumbnail should be replaced with full view.

There is a Greasemonkey script that is supposed to fix this, DeviantArt Full View Fixer, however does not solve the issue in my version of 2.0.0.3 or 3.0a4. User reports have the latest version this works in is 2.0.0.1.

I disabled all addons to no avail. Reset everything to default (by new installation) to no avail. Blanket allowing of domains of image servers in the "exceptions" option of "load Images" does not work either.

Current workaround is to download the image or open the image in a viewer, such as XnView, straight off the browser. Though this would be unaaceptable to anyone not on a high speed connection.

"Full view" and "small view" work fine on Windows.

Two more places found where images do not expand or switch correctly. Ebay and Tubeworld. Example: https://www.tubeworld.com/6sl7.htm and click on an image to enlarge it or pop-it-up. Nothing happens. Pop-up setting is OK for allowing.

Ebay: Go to an auction where multiple images can be chosen. Nothing happens.

This appears to me to be a Javascript handling issue.

Can you reproduce this issue using Firefox 2.0.0.4 with a new profile? This WORKSFORME using Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Windows XP SP 2, Mac OS X 10.4, and Ubuntu 6.10.

2.0.0.4 + a new profile cures this problem. Thanks!

Changing resolution to WORKSFORME since we don't know what code change, if any, fixed this.
