When checking a Yahoo! mail account, I attempt to block advertising images from
a server named rd.yahoo.com.  The images are blocked temporarily, esssentially
for the length of the session, but next time I connect to that mail account,
even if I haven't closed the window, images are able to get through again.  When
I open Image Manager, that server never appears on the list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to Yahoo! mail account.
2. Right click on advertising image, and select "Block Images from this Server".
3. Read email as normal

Actual Results:  
The images are temporarily blocked, but for no more than eight hours, but the
serverdoes not appear on the blocked Image Sites list in Image Manager.

Expected Results:  
Added the server rd.yahoo.com to the blocked Image Sites list in Image Manager.

The URLs in each instance are very long, and seem to be referals, i.e.
http://rd.yahoo.com/M246955.***/url*/http://webevents.yahoo.com/universal/some-lame-****-movie-they-want-me-to-buy-the-DVD-of.html
but neither the server rd.yahoo.com nor webevents.yahoo.com appear on the
blocked Image Sites list.
I tried it on Linux 2003031308 and it works.
I would suggest you upgrading to 1.3 as 1.0 is very old.
And please try a non-debian build, but one from ftp.mozilla.org
Can't reproduce, and no response from the original reporter. Resolving worksforme.
