My conjecture in my previous message appears true.  The problem is
caused by image files that are excessively large for the area covered by
the images plus a badly designed script.

Nevertheless, Premier America Credit Union personnel insist that my
problem is caused by using Firefox 3.5, which I'm spoofing with
SeaMonkey 2.0.3.  Since they recommend that I revert to a Firefox
version that can be obtained only via FTP, I'm leaving the bug report
open.

I have sent a letter to Premier America Credit Union with details of
their problems -- both Web and personnel.

Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to
extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other
Mozilla-related applications.  You can access Mozdev much
more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.
