Firefox does not display images

Hello. Using FreeBSD v8.3, the version of Firefox bundled with Gnome was very old. I installed Firefox v16.0.2 from the Ports Collection, but images/icons do not display on websites. For example, on Google's main page, the 'Google' image that usually displays in the middle of the screen does not show. As far as I remember, this did not happen with the old version of Firefox that I removed.

I searched for possible solutions to similar problems such as adding

Code: 
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

to xorg.conf, but it did not work.

Anyone have any advice? Thanks.
 
Did you update ports as described in /usr/ports/UPDATING? The Google logo is a PNG, and that was updated in July. There's also a note about the gecko libraries requiring APNG.

From /usr/ports/UPDATING I guess you are referring to:

Code: 
"graphics/png has to be installed with APNG option"

When I installed Firefox v16.0.2, I just accepted all the default options. Does this mean I have to reinstall Firefox with this particular option or is there another way I can fix this?
 
If you updated the ports tree before installing ports, everything is current. If you installed old ports, then updates are needed. What does this show?
% pkg_info -Ix png
