Anyone swithcing to Firefox, should be warned that by default, the browser doesn't load images from '3rd party' websites. In other words, any site that holds it's images on another server will not 'work'.

I just noticed this with the HSBC bank's website, and did a 'bug' report - enabling 3rd party images 'fixes' it, but having them blocked by default breaks a lot of sites, including THIS FORUM, and MINX MOVIES

So, if you are a Firefoix user, ensure 3rd party images are enabled ( I guess they disabled them to stop 'banner adverts'... ) if not, then many working website appear broken. As far as I'm concerned the default ticking of this box is a 'bug', as it breaks things !

The tick to be removed is on: Tools/Options/Web Features - "Load Images" should be ticked, but "for the originating web site only" should not be ticked.
