(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Allah the grate]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021014 Phoenix/0.3

When you block images from a site, the user cn still save them to disk and
access them.

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.
