[WEB4LIB] Mac Mozilla CSS image includes problem

Thanks for the pointer - it wasn't the answer, but it led me to it.

Under the Privacy and Security preferences, there's a setting for 
"Images". This was set to "Accept images that come from the originating 
server only" If I set it to "Accept all images" the missing ones 
magically appear.

Now to find out if that's the default setting in Mozilla as configured 
for distribution by our IT Dept or not...
