Many sites now use Flash-based and IFRAME-based bammer ads to bypass common
ad-blocking software. Mozilla included. I suggest that the Mozilla image blocker
base be expanded to include IFRAME and EMBED/OBJECT tags. The referenced URL
uses IFRAME ads.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a site with Flash or IFRAME ads.
2. Attempt to right-click the ad and select "Block Images From This Server".
Actual Results:
Flash ads: Macromedia's proprietary menu shows instead of Mozilla's context menu.
IFRAME ads: Same menu shown as if right-clicking any other frame.
Expected Results:
Flash ads: under Tools > Image Manager, shown an option "Block Flash Movies On
This Page..."
IFRAME ads: under Tools > Image Manager, shown an option "Block Floating Frames
On This Page..." as well as add a similar option to the page context menu for
the floating frame.

Maybe a typo. It is a duplicate of bug 94035, though.
