107345 - Better block ad banner possibilities

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94035

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

I'd like to be able to block *all* requests to a host. A lot of sites are using
Flash banner ads and since the Image Manager only is about image/* requests the
Flash banner ads doesn't get blocked.

If this bug is specifically about blocking embedded flash ads, then its a dupe
of bug 70805
If not, then could the reporter please clarify the bug description.
Otherwise, I'll mark it as a dupe. 

Thanks for using bugzilla!

Blocking of general media types should also be covered by bug 94035
Blocking of images from entire domains is covered by bug 91785

Reporter - if any of the bug numbers I've mentioned cover your request, then
please mark this as a duplicate.

I just meant I'd like to be able to block *all* requests to a host. flash or not
flash. Including text/html requests. Basiclly "the big blocker"...:)

This feature is covered by bug 94035, and some of the related bugs listed in the
comments there.
Blocking *all* requests from a host is probably not a particularly desirable
feature, nor is it entirely clear how it would work in practice. Fixing bug
94035 should give you most of the functionality you desire, so I'd suggest
moving your efforts over there.

I'll mark this as a duplicate. If you disagree, then please feel free to reopen
this bug report, with further description.

Thanks again for reporting bugs and using mozilla!
