Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Block a site (right click on any image and select "Block Images from this Server") 2. Refresh the page -- all images disappear and are replaced with blank placeholders 3. Right-click on any of these blank placeholders, and select "Save Link As..." Actual Results: The "forbidden" image is downloaded to disk and then freely accessible. Expected Results: The image should be unavailable for download. Simplest solution would probably be that "Save Link As..." be disabled.

OTOH: One could argue that this is a "feature". It allows you to save an image that you would otherwise not be able to see. Of course, this isn't good if your intention is to stop your kids from watching porno.

To answer David's comment and to be honest, "not-for-my-kids" was basically the idea. Now for this argument to be valid, such site-blocking preferences should be password-protected, which they are not. The other issue is that these image are downloaded *anyway* and simply prevented from being displayed, which is not good for a modem user who would like to prevent big images from specific sites in order to preserve surfing comfort. I think this image-blocking thing should be definitely re-thought and redesigned.
