I've been using Firefox browser for months here with no problem, but the last few days on Firefox there are on icons or smileys.

Is there some issue with Firefox I'm not aware of?

Thanks.

I've been using Firefox and I've had no problems.

Maybe try looking at Mozilla's forums on their site and see if they can suggest anything?

Ditto, I use firefox every day and I haven't had problem with that but I have heard the same complaints over the past few days. I wonder if it has something to do with your ISP.

I think I know what might be the culprit.

try right clicking on where an image would be normally, like a smiley, and see if "block images from forums.psychcentral.com is checked.

if not, try going into tools and then options, delete your cookies, and then clear the cache. Let me know if you need steps for doingso.

Once done that close and restart the browser.

Great idea Rainbowzz. If you clear the cookies, this might help. I didn't think of this because I do this regularly. I hope it helps.

it is something i dont usually think of too, but its a really good idea for a number of reasons.

number one, it clears out all your stored passwords and logons, helping you to keep the information secret and private.

Number two, if you happen to get a trojan or virus in your temporary internet files, it should delete it for you and then you dont have to worry about it. Same goes with tracking cookies, or spyware, or just plain bad guys hehe.

It also can slow down your computer while browsing if your temp files are really full, not to mention take up a bunch of space as well.

For anyone who cares, basically what you are doing is "resetting" your browser to the state it was in when you first downloaded it as far as stored information goes. That means it wipes out any "memory" i guess you could call it of the websites youve been to, or how to interact with those websites.

What may have happened is that firefox "remembered" from a past day that the images were not working, or something, or were blocked, and then every time it opens it is again "remembering" and showing you that information.

Most browsers are pretty good about updating what is called the "cache" (your temporary files or the memory I was talking about) but sometimes it can get bugged up depending on the site or program or whatever you are acessing.

usually the above steps help lots. It works in IE too, just the steps are a little different.
