EDIT:

I said this: "It says "Loading... If it's taking too long, click here" and if I click that, all I get is the clickable file names - but no actual images"

To clarify: When I click on the clickable file names, I get the usual gray dialog box, asking me if I want to open the image file in my Windows Photo Viewer, or Save it etc.

Of course, THEN I can see it, either way.

What I meant was, the images themselves still don't show up in the actual email, after I click on the file names.

Any ideas, anyone?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar

-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click Check for Updates -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:

-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING" -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on Cookies, Cache -> click Clear Now

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:

1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:

1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click Clear Now button

-> Click OK on Options window

Check and tell if its working.

Nope. Still no joy.

I thought maybe there was newer FF that I should get (although there seem to be some horror stories here regarding FF5?) but I just get the gray dialog box that says:

"No Updates Found There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates."

I did all that other stuff anyway, but it's still not working. Weird.

I did need to update my Adobe Flash (which I thought might be the culprit) and Adobe Reader, but that didn't help. I noticed that there was something called "Windows Live® Photo Gallery NPWLPG" - it says "Unknown Plug-In" and "Research" in the grey button - not Update, like the others.

But I don't know if that's relevant or not - it doesn't seem to be email-related.

I just can't figure out why it worked fine on Tuesday - then stopped cold on Wednesday. __________

EDIT:

Well - I just downloaded FF5 and still have the same problem.

Like I said - a friend of mine who also uses FF exclusively can see the images when he's in GMail & Yahoo, but not when he's in Hotmail.

He suspects that maybe something new in Hotmail has affected its compatability with FF? That the images process (or whatever) is no longer supported due to some coding change?

I just have no clue about this stuff, so I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains. See:

   http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load 

   Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
   Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
   Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
   Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images) 

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

Check and tell if its working.

All of those things are properly checked etc.

These images are NOT from a website/domain - they are saved file images from my computer, I guess in Windows Explorer. Attachments to my email - jpegs.

I'll attach 2 sample images here ... dunno if that will help.

The first pic is one that I scanned from an old photo, so it has NO connection whatsoever to anything internet. The second pic (map) is one I saved from a website a couple years ago.

I just emailed each image to myself in two separate emails - neither image loads in my email.

The only add-on I have is AdBlock Plus 1.3.9, which has never given me any problems before.

I'm gonna have to call MSN, aren't I. I hate calling MSN.

I'm having the same problem on multiple computers, and multiple browsers - FF and Safari.

Would be interested to know if anyone has come across a solution to this problem.

Interestingly, it doesn't affect IE, which almost leads me to think that Microsoft have disabled this for use on other browsers on purpose...

Okay, so - I posted about my problem here:

Windows Live Solution Center

and as I said there - I don't know who did what, or how they did it, but ... my images are back. :)

me, too!...and in safari, as well! bummer!

When I receive e-mail images that will not display in my Hotmail, I just click on 'forward' and the images appear. Try it - may not work for everyone but it works for me.

Says it is loading attachments to Yahoo mail but never does.

Attached is fine, but I can't embed images or links in Hotmail. Recipient gets grey squares and "invalid link". I get grey squares and invalid link too if I open the email that I've sent from the Sent folder. Fire Fox 12.

Hi djyll,
You're replying to a thread that is almost a year old. You should use https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new where volunteers can get more details about your setup.

Because this thread is so old and more people might start using it for their own questions, I'm going to lock it.
