Firefox fails to display aa rollover image. Other browsers OK. Aurora has same problem
Using Dreamweaver standard rollover image, Firefox fails to display the image or even the line the image would be on. Safari, IE, Chrome OK

That wasn't it either. It is not a sharing button like a LIKE button.
I resolved the problem today by myself. It took a bunch of registry edits and a re-install. It is now working.
Thanks for your help.

The image doesn't display even before the rollover?
Is this on a website, or on a page you're loading locally? I noticed your paths navigate up to a higher directory and Firefox sometimes restricts access to parent and sibling folders when accessing pages using file://.
Yes, image does not display pre-rollover &line does not appear. There is absence of the real-estate (one line) where the image should appear. Image is on the website and source here is from the page while opened with selected source deleted for size of post. As I said, in all other browsers, the initial image, the rollover image and the link all work perfectly. I'm also pasting in the source from the website as it is active and two images in one, the first from IE and the second from Firefox. You will see the missing line and missing real estate. Please see attached screenshot comparison across browsers & here's the source:

This forum uses wiki software and it doesn't handle HTML very nicely (img tags disappeared). Can you post to a live demo page that has this problem? Or could you post just the relevant table rows on a site like Pastebin and provide a link to that page?
Also, in case it's a transient cache issue with a style sheet or the image file itself, try clearing your Firefox cache using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/204 Thank you JScher. I appreciate your responsiveness. I've done every clear cache option there is with multiple tools. The effort to provide you with the web content somewhere is counter to its security and so, I'll thank you very much for your offer to help and simply use other browsers. I looked at binpaste and it is not well oriented to providing you with the web content in an executable way.
Thanks again.
Hi nacunis, one other thought: do you have any add-ons that might block images with "facebook" in the name (for example, an add-on that hides sharing buttons or the Like button)? If so, you could try turning that off and see whether it makes a difference. Alternately, you might rename facebook.gif to something else and see whether that helps.
