Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Does your ISP use its own unique webmail site or do they re-sell another popular service (like AT&T does with Yahoo!)? If it's their own unique software, it might be a while before someone familiar with the site can provide assistance with it.
What do you think about changing your mail setting default so that images always display? The disadvantage, of course, besides bandwidth, is that when you load "web beacons" the sender's web server records you as having read the message, which you don't always want to confirm.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. If Firefox is using out-of-date files or cookies from before the update, this should blow them out.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your centurylink cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
- right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Because the company uses several domain (.com, .net, mycenturylink, etc.), you might also want to try century in the search box at the top of the dialog so you can remove all the relevant cookies.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

tried what you advised.it was already in default mode.the only programs in extensions are browser protect which is disabled due to mozilla saying its fake & microsoft netframework assistant 0.0.0 which is also disabled.i cant enable browser protect but i can netframework.i still have the problem.talked to centurylink tech support,they tried several things,no fix.they think it might have something to do with there update as lots of people have called in about the same problem,or so they said.
thanks
it must have had something to do with centurylinks update,they said they were working on the problem & after 2 weeks its back to working correctly.thanks for all the help.
