My Firefox is not downloading photos - any ideas?

I've been on Firefox dor years without problems by this week - problem. When the Yahoo Home Page shows the news stories have headlines on a black background - no picture. In an Ebay category there is no gallery picture and other graphics are missing. The coloured star Feedback rating does not show, just tthe words "green star" in print. On the feedback page all is in print, no graphics. Trying to upload photos to a description fails everytime. I run an adblocker in Firefox.

In Internet Explorer I get loaded with adverts but everything works, none of the above problems appears.

Any ideas to "fix" my Firefox?

    Here is what you can do:

    Alternatively, I am not sure if you have a slower connection, but that could be a problem too. But if not, ignore this point.

    You mentioned you use adblocker, try disabling it, see if that works, if it does, you can try to alter the filter or disable it on certain websites or even edit the filter to allow certain content.
