currently using the latest version of firefox, and lve noticed images arent always loading and sometimes require a couple of refreshes before they do..

that said l believe they have loaded, the reason for this is l use an addon called save images, and sometimes l use it to save images in bulk and lve noticed on some pages where it happens it still saves the image even if it doesnt show up, which to me says the image has loaded but its just not showing (if that makes sense), sometimes one or two refreshes are all thats needed to resolve the issue.. however its getting slightly annoying and l was wondering if there are any settings l havent checked.

(l will note that this system is less than 2 weeks old, only just built it, and while l did use febe to restore things, lm essentially using a new 2 week old profile as all l restored were plugins and bookmarks).

Is this at the same website, several, many?

it seems to affect sites with many thumbnails or when their open counterparts are opened.. like l said its intermittent so sometimes they will load, other times they will still save with the save images addon but they will just show a blank area where the image should be.

I've called for more help.

Did you try Firefox Safe Mode?

seems to make no difference which is why the issue is strange.
