The rest of the pages show up as expected, but no images; that means inter alia that I can't click on any buttons unless I guess, scan and hover to find a finger icon, right-click and select properties, then try to remember where I was on the page before trying somewhere else. Much uncertainty. Mozilla-firefox-bin behaves in just the same way, and both do the same whether running under xfce or kde. Uninstalled all extensions, then emerge -C mozilla-firefox, emerge mozilla-firefox, then tried again with same result. What's special about images at www.amazon.co.uk?

Does this error occur on www.amazon.co.uk only? Are you able to view these images using the 'view image' option? Please check your configuration, as it is not affected by re-emerging Firefox: edit -> preferences -> web features -> exceptions (are you blocking images.amazon.com or images-eu.amazon.com?)
User configuration error ... page pulls all its images properly without a problem ... please check your configuration to make sure you are allowing images also make sure you do not have for the originating web site only checked .. this is most likely your problem.
I did have "for the originating web site only" checked, and that was indeed my problem. Sorry for having caused a waste of time - I'd allowed myself to be misled as to the source of the images.
