The amazon.com website will only load text, although it does load an occasional image. I am using windows xp, firefox version 8.0

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Box was already checked, so that wasn't it. Where are the Accessibility settings?

High contrast wasn't on. Tried all of the others. Thanks for the responses, but still no luck. I have attached a screen shot of the amazon site.

That almost looks like a page for a mobile device.

Are you using a wireless connection?

No. And all other sites load correctly. This is a networked connection, so I am wondering if that is something that is causing this. Others in the office do not have the same problem, but a couple others do.
