There should be more than 2 possiblities for (un)blocking images:

Block (and do not load)
Block (but load and discard)
Block (but load and discard when URL and image are at the same host)
Unblock
Select blocking path more precise [http://www.foobar.com/] -->


Reproducible: Always

I expect when a lot of browser are acutally using such a feature like
blocking adverting windows the will be webservers which do not sent
the web page contents until the adverting image is loaded to avoid
blocking of images which reduces adverting income.

This does not depend on bug 172373 which was a dupe anyways.

Currently there is a bug that blocked images are loaded anyways (bug 94118).

I don't see any need to implement anything else at this time. Suggesting WONTFIX.

Adjusting summary.

Marking NEW for QA to decide how to handle it. Still suggesting WONTFIX.

Mass reassigning of Image manager bugs to [e-mail], and futuring.
Most of these bugs are enhancement requests or are otherwise low priority at
this time.

I agree, this is wontfix. This is a battle we ultimately can't win. At some
point, you just have to stop using the offending site.
