The problem was due to me accidentally instructing Firefox to no more load images from that given web server. So I kept having advertising images, because they are loaded from other servers. But no more cartoon images from the Slate.com server.

I didn't even know that preventing to load images from a given server was possible with Firefox and it was far too easy, by a simple unnoticed keystroke or mouse click, to have the images from a site blockaded.

Months later I understood the problem and then learned to re-authorize the loading of the images, using the Preferences dialog box from Firefox. I had to do it quite often.

Then the problem faded away, probably because the entry to disallow loading the images, inside Firefox' pop-up menu, was placed much lower in the menu.
