um..if you block images, you will never see it.
what you mean is a "show image" context menu option perhaps?

over to Cookies.

[Stephen P. Morse]

Selective image blocking is done in the nsCookie.cpp file and so would get 
classified as a cookie bug.  Total image blocking is done in the image library.

This bug involves total image blocking.  So reassigning.

Doron, why is that option in the context menu in the first place? To show
images, right? That's exactly what is does! Opening a new window, and show the
image. But after you set your preferences to block image loading, it's totally
useless!

1 - item in menu is useless, if you can't use it!
2 - openenig a new window is useless, if it's doing nothing!

morse, isn't that file in cache already?

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

if image blocking is on, the image is not in cache. Personally, we should have a
"show image" if the image is blocked. However, this is a dupe of 47792.
