  Display of full-size images fails on my blog and others that I follow.

  And these are not excessively large images.

  Furthermore, display of those same images worked fine just a few hours ago.

  For example, try clicking on the image in http://windagainstcurrent.com/2012/07/13/weekly-photo-challenge-dreaming/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I viewed the image and read the image info: 3,462px × 2,550px (scaled to 757px × 558px)

  If you want the best quality and don’t want to waste your media storage space it’s best to resize images offline to “fit” the maximun displayed image width for your theme http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/maximum-image-width/ before uploading them into your blog.

  Thanks—it was Firefox screwing up, again… Sorry to bother you.

  On the size of images, I want the large images to be available too, even if it takes storage space. So I am reducing the images, which in their raw form are 10 MB, to several hundred kB by JPEG compression… I do not want them to be merely 500 pixels wide!
