These browsers that do not support JavaScript simply load the image as a separate file, losing the Lightbox effect but still retaining the ability to display the full-sized image.<ref name="Zervaas" /> Even so, some compatibility problems have been identified with versions of Lightbox, in particular when displaying larger images on [[Firefox]] or [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]].<ref name="Campbell">{{cite web | last = Campbell | first = Debbie | date = February 15, 2007 | title = Thickbox – For Image Display and Slideshows | work = WebProNews | url = http://www.webpronews.com/blogtalk/2007/02/15/thickbox-for-image-display-and-slideshows | accessdate = 2008-05-21 }}</ref>
 
Many users have also noted that there is a lack of compatibility across the [[Internet Explorer]] range of browsers, and in particular, the newly released Internet Explorer 9.
