Can't see some web pictures?

I'm using the latest version of Firefox, I have a fast internet connection, and I have a fast computer but on some websites I can't view some pictures and its really annoying especially when I'm trying to view the pictures as guides so I know what to do while working on my car.

Is there some kind of software I need?

Bare with me, I don't know much about computers but what I do know is that my computer is up to date on the latest software.

Update:

Heres a link to a screen shot:

It only does that on some websites and I have no clue how to get those images to come up.

Update 2:

Thanks for the suggestions but Firefox already has full access and I have Quicktime-the latest version of it.

It's set to allow/view all images from any site, the pop-up blocker is off, and the ad-block is disabled, most of the security features I've disabled. Java script is also on.

Maybe it's just the site then I dunno, guess I'll try to view the pics on another computer sometime.

    It sounds like a Firewall issue.

    If you have your Firewall set to "allow ALL content from Firefox," the images should display fine.

    For example, if you have the Symantec Firewall installed, it allows you to customize the level of access that any individual program has. Symantec is BIASED towards Internet Explorer.... and allows ALL content from IE.

    However, it often default blocks SOME content from Firefox.

    Whatever Firewall you have, you need to TELL it to allow ALL TRAFFIC from Firefox.

    Try downloading Quicktime from Apple.com , when it ask during the install, choose to use Quicktime to view ALL available file types. This has worked for me on a similar problem in the past.

    Maybe you don't have permission to view pictures? Or maybe your Firefox settings is configured not to show pictures.
