If you have a look at http://www.gunde.de/thisislondon.jpg, which of the
two pictures do you mean, is it the sculpture? If yes, what happens if
you access the picture directly by rightclicking and selecting "View
background picture"?

My Windows Firefox doesn't display some of the graphics either:
http://www.gunde.de/radiotimes.gif

On the page you linked the URL for the bullet:
http://www.radiotimes.com/tv/images/rtdf2/orange_bullet.gif

On the other pages the URL for the bullet looks like this:
http://www.radiotimes.com/images/rtdf2/orange_bullet.gif

Basically, in this case the page editor made a mistake, and it is not
your browser's fault.

I have the feeling that the Firefox cache is involved, and that emptying
the cache on both installations and reloading the pages will make them
behave the same.

Kind regards,
