If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

none of those steps worked....any other ideas appreciated

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

when I went into safe mode my pc could not detect any networks so I could not test the website in question

and alarmingly, when in safe mode my pc refused to recognise my current pass-number ....i started to sweat

luckily i recalled my previous pass-number and that gave me access but safe mode shouldnt have changed my pass-number....reluctant to go back in

'this may mean nothing but,' my pc hotspots off an android phone, and I notice I have the same problem when I try to access mql5.com website on my android

I've just tested my wifes pc, the same problem occurs when accessing mql5.com

so the problem happens on 2 different pc's and an android phone, but it doesnt happen to other users of the website mql5.com

....a mystery

Are you using the same Wi-Fi?

FredMcD said

Are you using the same Wi-Fi?

yes, all devices

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page on that website (i.e. no authentication or signing on required) ?

Is this only happening with images ?

What happens if you open such an image in a new tab ? Are there errors reported ?

You can use "Tools -> Page Info -> Media" and possibly the Inspector or Network Monitor to get a URL.

See also the Web Console for possible error messages.

• "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

Hello Peter,

This probably won't apply to your situation, but just in case :

Suggestion: Go to a public WiFi. Is the problem still there?

1. no, I have to sign in to do that

2. images are lost and page formatting is messed up, when posting comments I cant see buttons, for example

3. Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

4. chrome://global/skin/icons/warning.svg chrome://browser/content/illustrations/error-server-not-found.svg

    Bummer - thank you for trying, though.

Would you take a look at this article please (if you haven't already) :

Anything helpful there ?

Today's cel phones are just as vulnerable to viruses and malware.

"Make sure Allow is selected next to Load Images."

there is no such option when following this instruction https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-images-not-show#w_check-image-permissions-for-a-specific-website

• • but this happening across multiple devices:

2 pc's, 2 android phones and 1 tablet, so my pc's settings or configuration, or a bug, can be ruled out it seems

• • the other complicating factor is that other users at mql5.com are not experiencing the issues I am

....the mystery continues

the only common variable at present is that all devices share the same wifi originated from an android phone

so perhaps my android is somehow involved

android support is the next step I suppose

I should have gone over that article myself; then I would have noticed that that section is till there (that particular item used to be under the Permissions tab, but has been removed) - apologies ....
