I have done that and "load image automatically" is already ticked.

Since emailing you the question, I have closed off Firefox and opened it gain and it seems to be working OK now.

Does this make sense?

I am totally confused.

Regret to advise that there are still some youtube pictures that don't open. Today someone sent me a forwarded email with a link to you tube. A picture was shown when I cloicked on the link but as soon as I pressed the arrow to play there was no picture.

What do you think is causing the problem please?

I am old, stressed when computers go wrong as I don't understand them much.

Would appreciate your help.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank You

I am saving your suggestion in my email saved folder. I have downloaded the updated NVIDIA files and things seem to be OK now.

Thank you for your help.
