175592 - More configurable image filtering

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78104

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, enhancement)

Description

[Hugo Haas]

Hi.

The image manager is a great feature of Phoenix (and Mozilla). However filtering
on host name is sometimes (often?) not enough, since there may be both images
that one wants and that one doesn't want originating from the same server.

It would be great if the user could specify a more precise image filtering,
allowing him/her to specify patterns for URLs that should be banned. This could
be done with wildcards or regular expressions, and should not be slowing down
the browser too much since it would essentially be one pattern matching test.

Thanks for the great product, and keep up the good work.

Regards,

Hugo

Dupe of bug 78104?

It actually is. I hadn't realized that there was a Browser / Image Blocking
category which had that already.

Sorry about that. I am marking it as a duplicate of 78104 (I hope that's the
right way to deal with it).
