From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011 BuildID: 20011114 The Preferences window needs more options to manage images to be blocked. You should be able to add new as well as edit blocked images. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on Edit - Preferences 2. Select Privacy & Security and then Images 3. Click View Image Permissions Actual Results: Only has Remove buttons Expected Results: Needs add and edit buttons The reasoning for this is say I only want to block images in a certain section of a site or even just block a single image, then I can just add this to the list in the preferences or edit a current on.

See also bug 109810, "Way to manually add to Passwords never saved list in passwordmanager". -> XP Apps, since several other image manager bugs are in that component.

that's odd, i thought there was an Image Manager component added recently. or, perhaps i somehow missed it...? ;) ->morse/tpreston

Creating an "image manager" component in bugzilla is bug 107310.

Possible way to edit the current Image Manager (based on bug 109810 mentioned above). +-------------------------------------------------------+ |Image Manager |X| +-------------------------------------------------------+ |_[Image Sites]_________________________________________| | Internet websites from which images are not fetched. | | | | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | | | Site | Status | | | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | | |www.mozilla.org | does not load images | | | |www.mozilla.org/gif/ | loads image(s) | | | |www.mozilla.org/cool.gif| loads image(s) | | | |: | | | +---------------------------------------------------+ | | [Add] [Edit] [Remove] [Remove All] | |-------------------------------------------------------| | [ OK ] [Cancel]| +-------------------------------------------------------+ Basically the idea behind all of this is that it would block all images from www.mozilla.org except for images in the /gif/ folder and subdirectories or the specific cool.gif. By allowing so called EXCEPTIONS a user can customize and chose what they need to block like in order to block certain ads but allow regular site images through. SUGGESTED RULES: 1. Sites should be listed by domain (and alphabetically second) IE, images.mozilla.org should be right before www.mozilla.org and not after www.google.com. This way a user can keep easy track of exceptions to the rule for example they have images blocked on part of the site and allowed on other parts.

REOPEN:

requests for domain/hostname entry should go to bug 89904. This bug is for more specific types of filtering.

I guess this is a UI bug for the feature requested in bug 78104

I think this bug can be closed down as RESOLVED -> WONTFIX Looking back, the kind of features I was looking for are now served by adblock's fine-grained control. It might be nice if Firefox built in such fine-grained control, but that's really a big topic that should be dealt with separate from my rather simplistic suggestion I offered here. I would like to close this report for no longer being relevant, but just wanted to look for any feedback before I did. :)

See Comment 14 If you really would like it reopened, feel free to do so. However, personally, I think if Firefox really wanted to add something like this, it should be something more powerful like adblock's ability to handle both whitelists, blacklists, page elements, and regular expressions.
