Did you saw what the built in debugger of each have to say about it?

Firefox has an allergy to non-standard uri... 'images\...png' is not one, so it refuses to display...Use / instead of \ to get the correct path in each browser...
As for both...There is some problem with the content attribute...You face one of the rare cases where IE (and Firefox too) enforces standard...
This attribute can be used - by CSS standard - only in the context of :before and :after pseudo-selectors...
Other browsers allow to use content out-of context, but it is not by the standard, and maybe removed in coming versions...
To be honest with you, you can not change the src attribute of an img tag using CSS...
You can do a workaround using background-image attribute to do so (there are samples you can find with Google easily)...
