Fix problems that cause images to not show
If you are experiencing difficulty downloading or viewing images through Firefox, follow the troubleshooting instructions below.
This article applies to:
- Still image file formats such as PNG, GIF, and JPG
- Animated file formats like animated GIF
This article does not apply to the following formats:
- Video, such as MPG, WMV, and AVI. For more information, see Fix common audio and video issues.
Note: If you're having trouble with a website, click the padlock icon 
in the address bar to see if Firefox has blocked parts of the page that are not secure. See Mixed content blocking in Firefox for details.
Clear cookies and cache
Sometimes problems loading websites can be fixed by clearing the cookies and cache.
- Click on the menu button
to open the menu panel. Click the Library 
button on your toolbar. (If you don't see it, click the menu button, then click click the menu button.) - Click and select .
- In the Time Range to clear: drop-down, select Everything.
- Below the drop-down menu, select both Cookies and Cache. Make sure other items you want to keep are not selected.
- Click OK.
Check image permissions for a specific website
Firefox allows you to prevent images from loading for certain websites to make pages load faster. If you are having trouble viewing images for a specific website:
- Click the Site Identity Button (the website's icon to the left of its address).
- Click the More information… button in the prompt. The Page Info window will open.
- Select the panel.
- Make sure Allow is selected next to Load Images.
- Close the Page Info window.
Security software
Some Internet security software (including antivirus and anti-spyware programs, firewalls, privacy programs, and others) may identify and block certain images as web bugs or may prevent images from animating. Check the settings for your Internet security program to make sure it allows images to load.
Extensions
Extensions are add-ons that add or modify Firefox features. See the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for instructions on how to disable or uninstall extensions that may cause images not to load in Firefox.
Images load but look wrong
If images on websites load, but don't look right or don't look the way they do in other browsers:
- If you are using any sort of web accelerator software, disable it and see if images load properly. For more information, see the documentation that came with the software.
- If the image area shows text or some form of gibberish, see the MozillaZine Knowledge Base article Page displays as gibberish.
Other reasons why images may not load
- The site that displays the images may be down or experiencing difficulties. To verify, try loading the site from a different computer or browser.
- Some pathnames to images contain backslashes (e.g. example.com\MyImage.jpg). In browsers other than Internet Explorer, these pathnames do not load. If you see that the image's URL contains a backslash, contact the site's webmaster about the issue.
- You may have modified one of your Firefox preference settings which is causing images not to show. You can either reset all preferences or else try the following:
- Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter Return .
A warning page may appear. Click Accept the Risk and Continue to go to the about:config page. - Find browser.display.document_color_use in the list of preferences. Its value should be set to 0 by default.
- Click Reset
if its value is other than 0.
