See screenshot. Suggest if we can not test if user has gravatar we remove this entirely.

I just wanted to point out that in IE9 this bug is more pronounced and is more visible to the user.

Craig: Can you make and post a generic image we can use? We're currently using 80x80 images for this spot.

Once you attach it, assign it back to me and I'll hook it up to use the generic image when a user does not have a gravatar.

Fixed as of https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-flicks/commit/9c309a6f126e2ffa4b793db562697c7b09498f8d

For some reason gravatar had trouble dealing with our default avatar, so as a short-term fix I've just defaulted to using their own generic avatar, which looks surprisingly similar to craig's. We can file a new bug if we want to switch to using the one above later.
