When editing my website Firefox does not allow image insert but Internet Explorer does allow.
When editing articles on our website inserted images appear as a broken link although they are visible in the editor. When the insert is pressed only text appears and "/jpg. item"
If I use Internet Explorer to carry out this procedure there is not a problem, however I prefer to use Firefox.

What type of editor is being used there?
Do a View Page Source from Firefox and see all the green text that is being generated by your editor. All that green text is garbage code that Firefox doesn't understand - like from a Word document. IE may be able to read that code, but real web browsers (probably) can't.
I looked at 6 pages on that website and couldn't see any missing images with "broken code" Alt tags.
How does it look from another PC?
The editor is a WYSWYG. The image (jpg) appears in the editor but disappears once the insert is pressed, leaving an outline box and the image title. If I use IE to do this there is not a problem. This has only started to happen since the last Firefox update.
You would not have found anymissing images as they were removed. However I have just tried to insert an image in a newsletter (North, April Outpost 2010) resulting in the above problem.

Your website contains VML (MS Office Word) code that only works in IE and not browsers like Firefox.

You need to make sure that you disable VML in the web authoring settings and generate W3C compliant code.
