The ability to selectively block images/cookies is a beautiful feature, and one that gives free (as in speech) browsers the edge over others. However, Mozilla seems to be lacking the ability to selectively load individual images/all images, after the page has loaded. It would also be useful to display some icon in place of the missing images so that one could locate them for subsequent loading. Thanks for all your hard work thus far. Too bad all I'm good for is submiting gripes. :)

Duplicate of "`Show Images' command not hooked up" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 57505 ***

This isn't a dup of bug 57505 -- in fact, it's just about the exact opposite. `Show Images' would load *all* the images which are *not* blocked. Darin, however, is asking for loading of *individual* images which *are* blocked. This bug does depend on 57505, though, because therein would be fixed the problem of loading images after the page itself has loaded.

UI for this is fairly obvious: the `Load Image' context menu item. --> XP Apps: GUI.

reassigning as mpt seemed to want to do.

Darin, > however, is asking for loading of *individual* images which *are* blocked. Then I'm confused. Bug 57505 looks to me like it is talking about loading images that are blocked which is just the opposite of what MPT said above. So I agree with Zbarsky that this is a dup of 57505. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 57505 ***

Verified Duplicate

Let's try that again. > Bug 57505 looks to me like it is talking about loading images that are > blocked No, as I said, bug 57505 is about loading images which ARE NOT blocked. This bug is about loading images which ARE blocked. For the odd case where I want to load an image which is blocked, I need to be able to choose `Load Image' from the shortcut menu, or (for a non-link image) click on the image's icon, to load the image. That's what this bug is about. It is not a duplicate. Reopening.

I still fail to see a difference between this bug and bug 57505. In 57505 the images were blocked by the fact that images were turned off in the prefs panel. In this case they are blocked because the user said he didn't want to accept images from the particular server. Total block versus selective blocking. But blocking none-the-less. If you want to consider these as two separate bugs, so be it. But at least the same person should be assigned to both of them. Therefore reassigning this to ben.

No, turning images off is not `blocking' them, it's turning them off. When images are turned off, choosing `Load Images' should load all images except for those which are blocked. If you still want to load an image which is blocked, you should be able to choose `Load Image' from the shortcut menu or (if the image is not a link) click on the placeholder icon.

See also bug 34165, which applies to `View Image' rather than `Load Image'.

Would "Load Image" replace another context menu item for blocked images, or would it be shown in addition to the normal set of context menu items for images?

Actually, I think bug 147066 was probably a duplicate of bug 145690 (a request for an image whitelist option, with images loaded ONLY IF the site is marked as allowed in the permissions list).

Dupe of bug 47475? BTW, it has a patch.
