Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

 Ubuntu 8.04 - de Hardy Heron

firefox:
  Geïnstalleerd: 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
  Kandidaat: 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
  Versietabel:
 *** 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages

I was searching for images with Google (http://images.google.nl/images?hl=nl&q=background&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi) and earlier the result where some thumbnails of the images I was looking for, but the last times the images won't show. The page layout is the same, but the images just don't appear.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

I've got this problem with a gallery of images where only some will display.
I have 2 PC's - running Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit and another running 9.04 64-bit

The 8.04 Ubuntu works just fine.

The 9.04 Ubuntu exhibits this problem with both Firefox 3.0 and 3.5

I have described this problem at this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1192471

This thread shows the torn page placeholder for the thumbnail images.

If I can help by testing, let me know.

If you have a solution, I would like that too.

Firefox 3.5 still has this problem - not only on Ubuntu. I experience the same Problem on Mac OS X.
I searched with google and the reasons seem very obscure - there used to be some flag that allowed to set the permissions for image files be domain. This flag is not there any more in 3.5.
I had some success in specifically allowing the google domain to display pictures - but this success was not persistent.
I had remove all cache content before it worked. On the next session the same problem reappeared ... it is really annoying.
