Yes, never had any problem. Do you have konqueror or opera installed? try them 
if you do.

Load the page again, and then click on Tools->Page Info and select the Media 
tab. Are any image files listed? It looks like firefox is not loading images 
from maps.google.com, or rather it looks like it is loading images directly from 
maps.google.com, but not from servers like mt3.google.com. (See below the list 
of images that load when I type "Grand Rapids, MI" into maps.google.com) Firefox 
has an option, "edit->preferences->Content->Load Images->from originating web 
site only" that seems like it might give the behavior you are experiencing, but 
enabling it on my setup does not change the behavior at all. But do look into it 
any ways.
