153427 - Flash banners can't be blocked with image manager

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94035

(Core :: Graphics: Image Blocking, enhancement)

Description

[Gabriele Fava]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611

The italian site above (www.punto-informatico.it)uses annoying flash banners
instead of the usual gif or jpeg ones. These banners can't be blocked with image
manager, in no way because image manager doesn't recognize them as images.
They are actually not images, but they are annoying items also when not used as
advertising banners, so perhaps flash items could be blocked together with other
image items when "Block images from this site" is set.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit the page http://www.punto-informatico.it/p.asp?i=40452
2.You see the IBM flash banner
3.As you can see from page info/media, the banner comes from
http://ad.it.doubleclick.net
4.You can't use the right-clik context-menu to try to block the image, so go to
http://ad.it.doubleclick.net and block the images from that server (tools/image
manager/block images from this site)
5.Return to the previous page and reload it. The banner remains, because it is
not considered an image.
