For some reason, Firefox 3 doesn’t maintain the height and width of an image through the dimensions set in the image tag. Any missing images or broken images are simply not displayed if there is no ALT or TITLE tag specified. If the ALT or TITLE tag is specified, then Firefox simply displays the value of the tag, but does not retain the height and width of the image as set in the tag.

I’ve been looking for a fix to this problem, and I thought I found it when I read that you can do the following:

1. Type about:config into the Firefox address bar.
2. Type image into the filter bar.
3. Make sure the browser.display.show_image_placeholder option is set to true. This value can be changed by double-clicking it.

I’ve tried this fix, but have had no luck getting images to retain their size. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please post a comment and share it with the world! Thanks!
