images not showing up in webpages?

I'm getting some weird thing where certain web pages I view will not show images. There doesn't appear to be any method to the madness. Some pages show images fine (like the shroomery).. while other random websites I visit.. I will see no images at all.. (amazon.com.. myspace.. ebay.. etc)
I can find no reason for this. I have tweaked some settings on my registry and a few other things lately to increase performance.. but they were working fine after that too. I also had installed a webdeveloper extension to firefox that gave me many options.. I thought that might have been the issue.. but after uninstalling it I still have the problem.
Anyone know a possible solution to something like this?
edit: on further evaluation... these webpages are working fine in IE. What gives?

Are you running Adblock?
I run Adblock and now I can't watch videos on sites like entensity and break.com. I dont know how to make it unblock them. =/
If you don't have Adblock, I dunno.

No.. not running adblock.
I also run ad-aware and spybot regularly.. as well as my anti-virus..so I don't think it's spyware or a virus.
Just checking around now looking for a solution.. I really don't want to reinstall firefox as I have a bunch of its settings tweaked.. but I guess I will as a last resort.

No.. pages are not loading slow.. really fast actually. Well I take that back... on sites that images are not loading on.. it seems to take about 5-10 seconds for the loading thing to say done.. where most pages load almost instantly.
have you modified your hosts file?
The thing in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ ?? No.

are you sure there is nothing in your hosts file that could be blocking images? sure sounds like it. post your hosts file.

well, if there is nothing in your hosts file and you do not have any adblocking application (adblock extension, firewall, etc), then I recommend killing your firefox chrome/profile and starting fresh. this means not just reinstalling firefox, but deleting your profile. something is screwy.

to backup bookmarks, go to bookmarks>bookmarks manager>file>export
save the .html file to somewhere safe. do the same except "import" once you have re-installed firefox
to delete your profile, start>run> type firefox.exe -profilemanager
find option to "delete profile" and do so. be sure to select the option to "delete files" to clear everything out.
