Hello Ute and Aaaron,

Thanks for your suggestions.

It looks like Ute might be on the right track. I noticed that I did not have 
any issue with the .gif images, so I will transform the .tiff into .gif.
Just to clarify: The issue was with the Mozilla/Firefox browser not able to 
display .tiff, Safari can do it fine.

Thanks and best regards,

-mai
