Which items do you mean?

Can you attach a screenshot?

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.

• Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
• Check the permissions for all sites on the about:permissions page, via the location bar.
• Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
• Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"

• Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).

If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Make sure that you do not block third-party images permissions.default.images

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I have checked all permissions you suggested - everything seems to be in order.

The problem is all to do with icons that I have made and put into Google maps - default icons supplied by Google all work. My own icons all show on all other browsers, including FF7 - the problem is only in FF8.

I have attached two screenshots, one showing a Google map page in Chrome. Note there are 6 icons showing; Placemark 1 and Placemark 2 are my own icons (which show the works "Start" and "Finish" on the map, and Placemarks 3 to 6 are default Google icons.

The second screenshot shows the same map in FF8. The default icons are visible , but my own icons are not, even though they are still there - you can see they are still there because the Placemark 2 box is pointing to where the icon is in the Chrome screenshot.

There is something seriously going wrong with the start.png and finish.png images.

On the about:cache page they have a mysterious cache entry prefixed with "anon&uri=" and produce an error in the Tools > Error Console when I check them in Tools > Page Info > Media

key: anon&uri=http://walkinginfrance.info/icons/start.png
key: anon&uri=http://walkinginfrance.info/icons/finish.png

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [imgIRequest.image]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/pageinfo/pageInfo.js :: makePreview :: line 849"  data: no]

The HTTP response Headers look quite normal to me:

The images do load normally if I paste the URL in the location bar.

Thanks.

There definitely is something seriously going wrong with the start.png and finish.png images, but only in FF8, and I have no idea what it is.

Firefox 10 (Aurora) and Firefox 11 (Nightly) have the same problem.

Maybe someone at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum can help you wit this problem.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.

Thanks.

I've put the issue up on the MozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2359775.

I am having the same problem. I stupidly spent quite a bit of time messing with it before I tried another browser, where they work fine.

Man I hope this is being looked at. I have some custom maps and I'm sure people are going to the website in FF8.

Thanks

I don't know what the cause is in keith13 case. Maybe it is a cross domain security issue with that Google script because loading the images directly works. You may need to let the server send special headers in such a case.

This problem is very anoying !!

I hope someone can save us !

Thanks

Same problem here. The interesting thing is, that not all maps are affected.

Examples (problem only occurs in FF8):

http://www.wanderwege-nrw.de/wandern-in-nrw/ruhrgebiet/recklinghausen---duelmen.html (icons in the map are missing...)

http://www.wanderwege-nrw.de/wandern-in-nrw/ruhrgebiet/bachtaeler-und-die-ruhr-bei-muelheim.html (icons are shown without any problem...)

All icons are shown without a problem in IE, Chrome, Safari and FF7.

Same problem with my maps. You posted that this issue is solved at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 but it is NOT SOLVED!!!!! I'm not a web developer, so I don't want a solution where I have write code or be a developer to figure it out. It works in every other browser & in FF7, so why can't you just figure it out & fix it, instead of making us have to write code or use our own developers to figure it out??

It will stop working in other browser like Google Chrome as well if the solution is to send specific HTTP access control headers.

• http://enable-cors.org/ enable cross-origin resource sharing
• https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_access_control

For you non-coders, (and yes, I am one of you) to fix this, open notpad.exe or whatever text editor you use. copy this one line of text or, if your site already has a .htaccess file, open your .htaccess file and add this one line of text to it.

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin *

Then save as... ".htaccess" (without the quotes) into your root website folder. Then upload the file to your server. and presto, now the icons show.

Seriously? I've got to write code to make something work that worked before the update? How long will it be before I'm writing pages of code to correct errors? I don't understand why the smart guys who created this problem can't fix it for everybody rather than let each individual fend for himself.

At the very least, they should post it in their "known issues" section, with a copy of a file to use.

I agree with cpyrsn above: This problem is NOT SOLVED.

And what about users hosting content on file sharing services like Dropbox, Google Sites : we can't add htaccess properties because it's not allowed by those services.
