firefox - no graphix - huh?!?

[PattiMichelle]

WTH?? Right in the middle of something I was doing, Firefox looses it's ability to display graphics - any ideas? I had to switch to Konqueror. Example: This page has graphics in it (equations) that I need to see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_matrix

None of the graphics now display on it in Firefox. VERY weird! I tried getting rid of DownloadHelper but that didn't fix anything. I'm wondering if there is a Kubuntu/*nix engine that simulates windows' engine(s) under Firefox to display graphics and maybe it broke? I checked in Preferences and Javascript and Load Images *are* checked... I did just do an automatic update. What borke?

Re: firefox - no graphix - huh?!?

no idea what it could be, but pretty much firefox is using its own things to do all its work, so something got borked specific to that. I would suggest clearing your cache, and perhaps even your cookies

also this may have some info to try:

also you can try creating a fresh firefox profile to see if it something specific to your current setup:

Thank you - I will work on it. It sort of seems to be specific to Wikipedia, so it's likely a cache thing like you suggest.

Try clicking on View>Page Style and make sure it did not get changed to No Style somehow. If it did, change it back to Basic Page Style. I sometimes use No Style when the graphics on a page don't display correctly and an input box is hidden.
