I didn't know tiny images could be placed in Custom Titles back when users had control over them. Could the image in this user's Custom Title be fixed or something? The link to the Firefox download page still works, though.

Wow, that is a blast from the past. The "Get Firefox" custom titles were used way back during the time when Firefox became 1.0. I'm pretty sure we were still using vBulletin at the time too. They weren't added by the users themselves; they were assigned by admins on request. I think Sandwich was the main guy behind them, but I could be misremembering. Whoever it was stopped adding them when he realized it was stretching our "no avatars" policy.

I'm half inclined to leave it there out of nostalgia.

I just get a broken image link icon lol

personally I say leave it, it's one of those quirks this community has developed over the years and it's not being abused at the moment so no harm done

ew.. broken image link. The developer in me cringes everytime I see that.

At the very least, couldn't the broken image be replaced with something of similar size? It's rather jarring to see the broken image icon considering that most broken images on forum threads just show up as blank spaces.

I probably truncated the URL wrong, but it ends up at the page where I want it to be so I'm not too bothered.

Aside question:

Why do you care?

Probably because of something similar to:

Also, the thread title couldn't be more explicit about it being a nitpick to begin with.

Speaking of broken image links then, there's quite a few of them on the Moderation pages (Especially the "Reported posts" page).

Yeah.. I try not to look at that page.. for the same reason as stated above.
