Firefox: Display Alt Text Instead of ‘Image not found’

Posted by Mitch on Feb 19, 2009 under Firefox Tips | No Comment

Firefox may display image-not-found instead of the text in the ALT text of the image.  I like to be able to see what image was supposed to appear, so I enable this feature.

1. Type about:config in the address bar.

2. Locate the entry for browser.display.force_inline_alttext.

3. Double-click the entry to toggle the setting between true and false.

true = ALT text will display.

false = image-not-found will display.
