One possibility could be that you accidently switched off
"show images" in some preference dialog. Maybe you could
check this?

Allthough Firefox is not my primary browser (which is Opera),
I think there is some setting that prevents images from bein
loaded. Instead, the alt or longdesc attribute of the <img>
tag is shown, or, in case that an image has been referenced
that does not exist, a red dot or X is shown.

At least, that how your situation looks to me...
