When downloading and reading articles that have images within. The first image will open to be viewed, but all after, all that shows up is a empty box. I would assume that it is a setting of some sort, but I've tried everything and still can't get them to open. Any suggestions.

I'm running a desktop and WIN 10

Hello,

When you download pages, Firefox sends a request and saves the html response. The images are being what is called "lazy loaded," a process that reduces loading time of the website by offloading the task of downloading the images to javascript, something not being saved by Firefox.

I am sorry to say, but unless Firefox allows you to download the current state of the website, the easiest way is probably the screenshot tool screenshoting the entire webpage for the images.
