Can you not open any .png image or any specific?
because if you are facing this problem for any specific image, open it in GIMP and save again it as .png.
Now try to open it in localhost.

hi pavi_kanetkar ,,
I can't open any .png photo from my project inside the "FIREFOX" , but it's opened inside "IE"
BTW ,, there is no problem with other extensions like jpeg, gif ...

When you inspect the element in firebug, what does it say?
Does it say image not loaded?
Are they background images and you are trying something like this?
If these png's are created in photoshop, they might not be opened in chrome and firefox.
Download any png image from google and try with it. Are you facing the same problem?

more details about my problem ..
when I put the image inside the ( htdocs dir ) inside the apache the (.jpeg, .png and any extension) opened very good inside firefox and IE ,,
but
when I put the Image in another dir (inside my weblogic) and insert this lines:
<Location /somthing>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
</Location>
inside httpd.conf ,, and tried to open .png it views like this (©Š

about "pavi_kanetkar" question (When you inspect the element in firebug, what does it say?)

Error: The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol.
Source File: http://localhost/..../images/IMAGE.png

thanx,,

Check your apache conf file and search following line
The attribute should be off and it should not be twice entered with different values.
If you make change in conf file, restart the apache.

yes ,, it is already off

As you said the attribute is already off. The message you are getting i.e. "Error: The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared." is generally appeared when the image is corrupt. You will say it is opened fine in IE but for firefox conditions are little different.
As I said before check for different png images.

Have you defined
http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; in your project?

The problem is that Firefox rely on type send in headers, but IE rely on file extension, as you have problems with any png image, then it is most probably problem with sending correct headers. You can install "Tamper data" extension in Firefox to see headers, check what "Content-Type" is sended.

Did you restarted Apache after adding "AddType image/png png"?

really i don't know where can I define "http-equiv..."
coz I call the Image directly from browser "http://localhost/..../images/IMAGE.png" not via a link from page.

BTW ,, I guess there is something wrong between the weblogic and apache because also inside the FIREFOX when I try calling the Image with weblogic port (like this "http://localhost:7001/..../images/IMAGE.png") it works very good ,, and when I copy this Image to "htdocs" inside the apache and call it (like this http://localhost/IMAGE.png") it works very good.
but
when I call the Image (like this "http://localhost/..../images/IMAGE.png") it doesn't work ,,
and when I call another extension (like this "http://localhost/..../images/IMAGE.jpg") it works very good.

I can't explain my problem very well but I hope you understand me

Yes, I have understood your problem. You can't open png images in firefox if they are inside any project folder in htdocs. If they are put in htdocs outside project folder, you can open them in firefox.
As you have said, your project folder is in htdocs, it means are your using lampp?

Please follow the suggestion once given by 'eSelix' in above comment.
Add following line in your apache conf file and restart apache.
AddType image/png png

this is the first thing I done as I said in the first comment "Note: I tried to add this line (AddType image/png png) inside the httpd.conf but Without avail "

Sorry, I missed the line.
When I found this problem on my apache, I have done the things what I suggested you above and it was solved at my end but they are not working for you.
Can you try <a href anchor tag.
Open a blank file and paste following line in it and save it as png.htm
Now put this png.htm in any folder inside htdocs. Suppose the folder is mywebapp.
Now open http://localhost/mywebapp/png.htm
and click on click here.

Paste the output.

when I use <img... the Image viewed correctly
but when I use <a href.... and click on the link I have (©Š
