Firefox worked perfectly until a week or so ago it wouldnt open. So I switched to Google Chrome for awhile and missed firefox. haha. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version.

But now, Firefox will not display transparent images correctly, they all have a white background now. Am I missing a plug-in or update? Or is there something I need to turn on somewhere? Thanks for any answers.

Do you have website colors enabled?

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
  2. Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Mozilla browsers

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
