Errors in Firefox

[nesredep egrob]

When I look on my site and give the name of that picture I want to see, I get
"the image "http://members.iinet.net.au/~borge/latestphotos/ThievingGit.bmp"
cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I try the same in MS Explorer and get a good result. Naturally leaving off the
name of the photo, I get a small listing and can choose to see or download.
Everything works as it should do - why does Firefox have to be that wrong.
I have uninstalled and installed the 3.03 version several times without any
success.

It happens quite a few times with other sites that the wheel spins and spins and
noting happens.

Has anyone had the same result and more to the point has it been cured and then
how, PLEASE

Maybe you did not wait long enough? It is a 14M file: aborting the load
in FF will produce the error message you cited; waiting will display the
image.

Questions about Mozilla products is best asked in a mozilla.*
newsgroup. If your NNTP server doesn't carry the mozilla.* newsgroups,
connect to Mozilla's own free NNTP server (news.mozilla.org).

That is definately not the case. I have placed some smaller files in that place
- one is a proboscis Monkey and if you leave off the direction to the
"ThievingGit.bmp" you will get a listing of the photos. Using MS Explorer, I get
the picture of the Proboscis Monkey in just seconds whereas with the firefox I
still get the same old message about an error in the file.

Try http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~borge/latestphotos/ to see the other
photos. If you get them in Firefox (my version is 3.0.4) you are luckier than I.

No problems here viewing the other photos in FF.

There is a good chance that, since you have problems and I do not, your
problem is caused by an add-on which is interfering with proper FF
behaviour.
