As far as I can tell, there is only one website that firefox can't load on my computer(and Internet explorer can) and that is allposters.com. It's weird in the sense that I don't get a page cannot be displayed message but rather just a blank page with the text captions and the broken image icon for all images that try and get loaded. All the hyperlinks work I just can't seem to view any pictures on the website. Any suggestions would be greatly welcome, and thanks in advance. :tazz:

I just tried going there and it works perfectly fine. Try opening up Firefox in safe mode. Start>programs>mozilla firefox>mozilla firefox (safe mode) and try the 3 diff options they put for you. You might have to close you other Firefox's currently running FYI. Helped me when my Firefox was giving me problems. Good luck!

Do you have JavaScripting turned on (Tools>Options, Content tab)? Any chance it was set as a Disallowed Site by accident in Firefox? Do you have latest version of FF (1.5.0.1)?

Site loaded fine for me too!

as it turned out i did not have the current version of firefox, but after installing the new version i still could not load it. thank you though for helping me realize how out of date i have been with this thing (lol), i was starting to wonder why i couldnt install any of the themes for this browser.
