The first part is make sure your browser.display.show_image_placeholders variable is set to true in your config file. To do this type about:config in the address bar of the browser, hit enter, and then do a search for this variable. A double click will change the value of the variable.

If you still can’t see the icon despite the fact that browser.display.show_image_placeholders is set to true then you need to follow this steps:

• Go to the Firefox profile folder.
• Go into the user folder found there.
• Go into the chrome. folder
• Duplicate the file userContent-example.css and save it as userContent.css
• Open a text editor and paste the following code:

  /*
   * Show image placeholders
   */
  @-moz-document url-prefix(http), url-prefix(file) {
    img:-moz-broken{
      -moz-force-broken-image-icon:1;
      width:24px;
      height:24px;
    }
  }
  

• Save the file and restart Firefox

On Mac Os X the path to the css file would look something like this:
/Users//Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/ /chrome/userContent-example.css

I hope this had solved your problem.

My friend Amalahuige (Amala for his friends) has passed me a very cool video of the city where I live.

Here is Vancouver in time lapse, enjoy.

At the end of this year I will have completed my pledge of not eating Chinese food for a year in my battle against shark fin soup, however I will continue with this commitment until the shark population goes back to normal.

My family supports me and my wonderful wife bought a full bus billboard in China. These billboards will be placed in either Beijing or Shanghai for a full year and will encourage people to stop consuming shark fin soup. In addition to this she adopted a shark through the WWF and purchased merchandise through www.sharksavers.org and www.seashepherd.org.

Let’s keep it simple:

Regular way:

if (statement) {
  $variable = "return this if true";
}
else {
  $variable = "return this if false";
}

Short way:

$variable = (statement) ? "return if true" : "return if false";

And this is how it works: statement ? if-true : if-false
