[Bug 255871] [NEW] firefox 3 doesn´t load images from many websites

[Cylon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have been facing this problem since weeks , when I go to image.google.com and search for something , I just get empty image holders and keep loading till they timeout , same problem with many websites ....when I view same URL with konqueror or opera , images load fine !
the workaround I use for ff3 to make it work is by using VPN connection or loading the URL using a web proxy. clearing the cache doesn´t help much.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and FF 3.0.1 upgraded from within ubuntu.
