Firefox Is Pissing Me Off

It's probably related to an add-on you've installed for Firefox, or how you've set the add-on, or how you've set Security and Privacy settings in Firefox.

It's also possible you have your antivirus/security software set in a way that blocks some of the graphics.

Using Firefox, I went to the main page for lifehacker.com, and everything filled in--nothing seems blocked.

Sometimes the pictures are hosted elsewhere and may have some traffic problems or routing problems.
Same problems for dns servers may occur, I like to keep several dns server address' in my tcp/ip settings.

Since they load here as well, it may very well be your settings.

I tend to believe it is Firefox because if I use any other browser like IE, Chrome or Opera, the problem does not exist.

So if it is an add on, I wonder which one it could be? I've googled the subject and can't find any answers.

Load firefox in safe mode...basically, it loads with no addons/extensions
Or, disable all extensions and enable one, surf for awhile, next one, surf, etc....leave the extensions on as you turn other on, sometimes it is a combination of extensions. It may not be any extensions so as you can imagine, this will take some time. I like useing process guard and right click firefox.exe and click properties and see under thread tab which is useing all cpu or memory at the time of the problem.
I also like debug mode for firefox and I believe there is debugging tools for firefox too, do a google search for "Firefox Debugging Tools; How To"

It could be that images served from a third party are timing out before loading.

Or the NoScript extension, if you use that.
Try upgrading to the latest version. There's a note in the changelog about a fix having to do with 'page loading issues'.

Nothing has worked. I even deleted firefox and still have the same issue.

Damned if I know wtf is going on.

Are the images loading ok in IE/Chrome/Opera etc?

reply to Weedpicker
Does anyone believe enabling the pipelining "tweak" will help in this case?

reply to Weedpicker
I have the same issue. Firefox will not load everything on a web site unless I stop it then hit reload. I don't have the issue with IE. It's frustrating to the point that I have almost stopped using Fx.
