Description

[Ben Woodard]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14masq i686; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000505
BuildID:    2000050513

The cookies and images section of the advanced preferences has been reduced to
only cookies.

PLEASE PUT THE IMAGES SECTION BACK!!!!
That was my favorite feature in the new mozilla browser. It greatly improved my
browsing experience.
1) It allowed me to eliminate unwanted advertisements
2) It allowed me to save bandwidth.
3) It protected me from web bugs and quite a bit of tracking.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to edit preferences advanced. The cookies & images section has been changed
to cookies only.

My comments in bug 35981 explain what happened to this feature.   Fear not, a 
single pref will bring it back (unfortunately, I don't have it handy at the 
moment - email steve morse for details)
