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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 94035 ***
