carpeperdiem and geckoday first I want to thank you for your input and trying to help. After a couple of more days wrestling with the issue I have finally figured it out. My company jpg image was originally saved as 300 px/in, which is the standard I use for photograph. I found out this was an issue independent of xcart because if I point the url directly to the image file firefox would throw an error.

The fix was the resave the same image as 'save for web' in photoshop, this will set the resolution to 72 px/in. I hope this may help others that is just as inexperienced as myself.
