Sometimes is difficult to find the image that you would like to block. For
example, when the size is 1 pixel. I would like to be able to add a site to the
list of sites that cannot load images from the Media tab of the Page Info dialog
box.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to any web site with images
2. hit Control-i to open the Page Info dialog box
3. hit Alt-i to go to the Media tab.
4. Select a item with of Type image
Actual Results:
I can't block images from the selected site.
Expected Results:
Some button or Context menu should allow me to block images from the selected site.

This adds a level of complexity I'm not sure we want to embark on. Calls to
everything from everywhere is what killed AppSuite as well. Still, its
relatively sane and could be done.
--> NEW for dev review.

Here's another (probably better) idea: add a new button for "Add Site" in the
dialog box accessed via Tools->Options->Web Features->Permissions. I don't
think this would be a "Call to everything from everywhere", as the dialog
already shows blocked sites and lets you unblock sites from the list - an "Add
Site" button seems natural for this dialog. There's even a bit of empty space
the button would fit in on the default-sized dialog. This does require
knowledge of the name of the server, but it's better than what we have now for
adding servers to the blocked list without right-click on the images (namely
nothing).
Also, "difficult to find" also applies to images covered by image maps,
apparently. It seems to do so in this popup ad I got recently (I prefer never
missing a necessary popup to not seeing ad popups):

In the meantime, there is a workaround, although it's not for the average user:
view the source, find the image to block, copy the URL to a new tab, then
right-click on the image, which won't be obscured by anything (although size is
still an issue).

On further thought, this could fit with the page info rework, depending on other
things.
hooking into permmgr is trivial, and the interface is already pretty geeky as is..

dup of existing bug. not something I'm likely to do in the near future, mostly
because I'm not sure what it should look like.
