All these years I’m using a Windows XP laptop with Firefox 52.9.0 (32-bit) on it, and am quite happy with it (won’t change the system).

I'm sure you are happy with it, but it's insecure, and it won't work forever.


But since two weeks most pictures and map links are not showing up properly. Here are the screenshots as an example of one page in three languages and an example of a picture file:

Try right-clicking on one of the broken images, then click "open image in new tab", and switch to the new tab, and see if there is any error.

I note that the JPEGs seem to be broken whereas the PNGs seem to work. I would be surprised if that's our fault. Maybe your libjpeg is corrupted due to it being on a very old hard drive. You could try reinstalling Windows.

Was a coding algorithm at Wikipedia changed or support for older browsers disabled? According to this (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Compatibility_browser) my browser is still supported. If it has been caused by mistake, then could you please turn it back on?

No, I don't think so, although dropping grade C support for your browser has recently been discussed at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380576
