I'm using Firefox version 3.0.7 and I noticed that when I download images they come in at low resolution.

I searched the internet and was unable to find anything about my problem but I did find the Firefox is using an image accelerator. If that's the case, does anyone know how I can fix it so images download with more resolution?

Thanks...

Are you using a dial up ISP like AOL or NET ZERO?

Its been a really long time since Ive used a service like that but back then I did notice that jpgs and gifs would come through on pages in a lower quality than they normally would if I was using dsl or cable.

This was a "feature" of the ISP to help speed up page load times over the dial up connection.

Dbrazzell,

Maybe you're on to something! I was using a Verizon air card and everything was alright, but...I changed to an ATT air card and that's when I noticed the problem. I've been so busy I forget that I did that!:(

I'll have to give ATT a phone call and verify if that's the problem and if they can do something about it.

Thanks!!!

You might also have to ask yourself if your priority is High-Resolution images or page loading speed.

if you only need the high-resolution images some of the time, your question to ATT support might be if there is a way to turn the feature on and off as needed.
