I checked the homepage, and so far there's nothing about the program working with Firefox 4. That may be the problem, but I could have sworn that I had the newest version of Firefox on both my PC and my laptop (and they're both running Windows 7). Still, only the laptop seems to have a problem.
This is a bit of an annoyance, because I download a lot of pics from this forum. But at the moment if I want to do big grabs, I have to do it in my office. I'd like to be able to sit in the living room and watch TV in my big comfy chair while I'm downloading. As it is currently, I mainly check the discussion threads from the laptop, then spend several hours in the office for the actual content.
I looked around for a program similar to ImageHost Grabber, but I only found one, and it wasn't freeware. Has anyone run across something else that works? If not, has anyone had the same problem?

Well, its easy enough to verify what version of Firefox you have on each computer. Just click on Help then About Mozilla Firefox, the version will be listed in the resulting box.
I wouldn't be surprised if IHG isn't (yet) compatible with FF4. While there are a few people regularly contributing with new host definitions and updating old definitions the actual programming is one guy I believe.
As for alternatives, DownThemAll is popular but personally I've never been able to make it work with several popular hosts.
