    Hi all,

    I've recently updated to Firefox 1.5.0.2 (Dutch language) [Mozilla/5.0 Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2] after a fresh reformat and I've come across some weird problems.

    1st problem:
    When I browse fora, either vBulletin or phpBB, Firefox doesn't render any images embedded in the posts. And when I'm browsing the Project Logs, that is very annoying. Like you can see here (just a random title from the log's ;) )

    2nd problem:
    After a while my Firefox changes my keyboard layout. I'm from Belgium, and we use AZERTY's over here, and it works fine. But after a random amount of time, Firefox changes my keyboard layout to QWERTY. It's Firefox only, because when I open notepad or something on top of Firefox when this happens, I type with AZERTY in notepad and QWERTY in Firefox.

    What I tried to solve it:
    I tried disabling all extensions, and revert back to the basic theme, but no avail. I also went through all the options of all extensions in search for an option, but no avail. Also tried reinstallin Firefox

    BTW, these are my extensions:

    What I did notice, I copied this Firefox profile (the /app. data/mozilla/ hidden directory) to an other pc, and that resulted in giving the same problem.

    If the pic's don't work, please let me know, because I can't see them ;)

    There is an option in Firefox Tools to not show any images, but as your problem is restricted to forum images I assume that's been ticked. But check the box below it, "for the originating web site only" isn't checked. Testing that just killed all your images above. :D

    Thanks a lot cpemma, that did the job... I actually don't recall me ticking the "for the originating web site only" check box, but it was checked. Man that was a dumb thing... Why would anyone use this option?

    Anyways, thanks!

    This solved the images problem, but does anyone have an idea for the AZERTY/QWERTY problem?
