From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611 BuildID: 2002061104 The removal of the confirmation dialog (in 1.1 alpha) to block a server from loading images makes it difficult to block webbugs. The only way to block a site seems to be to let it load an image then right click the image and select "block images from this server". This is somewhat difficult if the image in question is a 1*1 transparant image. At the very least, there should be an easy method of adding a site manually to the blocking list. Better still would be auto-blocking of single pixel images. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce:
The ask-option should ne re-added!!!
adding back the "ask" option and fixing things up so they work is already filed as a bug, and this seems to be the same thing, so... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 146513 ***
