Broken images on few sites
Hi everyone,
I've got a few broken images on
for example when going here it shows "The image xxxx cannot be displayed because it contains errors". Does also not show on Internet Explorer 11 but on a Chrome fork (Vivaldi) it works. Any ideas?

That's what you get when you serve a different file format than what the file indicates.
JPEG != animated GIF.

Thanks for answering. What can I do now? It's not my website.
Edit: It works for me now too, this happens randomly.

That's totally futile, and would make for a lot of non-standard added complexity (and associated bugs)maehsi wrote:Or you might optimize for bad websites

Re: Broken images on few sites
I have this problem on some sites as well. Yes, the web site is serving incorrect file name/actual contents, and I understand not wanting to add code, but depending on the name of the file seems a little like a web site depending on the browser's user agent instead of probing for capabilities. They'd both be nice if they always worked but it's more prudent to check.
Re: Broken images on few sites
Pale Moon checks first and foremost for the MIME type that a server sends (which is something the server MUST set up properly for the web to work). After that, it will sniff the file's contents (unless it is being told not to), and as final fallback the extension is used. So that's all covered.
If a website either sends no MIME type or sends the MIME type based on their (incorrect) extension, then that is entirely the server's fault.
