Fix: Firefox 4 reports image corrupt or truncated: unknown

May 25, 2011 7:39 pm /

If you get the error message in Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Firebug

Image corrupt or truncated: <unknown>

Check to see if your site has the “favicon” setup correctly. Firefox 4.0 has a strict rule that requires your site to have the favicon.

You can set the path of the fav icon with the following HTML:

<link href="http://[YOURWEBSITE]/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> 

Dynamic Drive’s free tool for creating favicons:

    I’m developing a Content Managed website (CMS), where the user adds titles, paragraphs, and other elemenets by filling out forms. What happened now is, the user pasted some Word document text, and submitte d to the site. The text contained XML tags, what Word is using to format text, this wasn’t handled by the browser, and this error was displayed only in Firefox Firebug’ Console tab, and the page was empty. Maybe this won’t help you, but I hope will be useful for someone. Cheers!

    ps So the page may contain some unhadled elements, or scripts, that creates this kind of error. Hope this helps!
