User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I try to select items in the preference dialogue, and when I hit OK, and go back
to preferences, they are back to default. I'm talking specifically about the
'only accept images from originating server' and 'allow animated images to play
never'. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open preferences dialogue
2. select 'only images from originating. . .' and 'Once'
3. select OK
4. open preferences, selections are back to default.

Actual Results:  
Images kept loading from all over the place and loop animating

Expected Results:  
Fix it so I don't have to load tons of images.

Had similar problem w/ an earlier v. of Mozilla (1.0.1). I had selected the
above preferences, worked for a few weeks, but then images started loading up
again. I checked the images section and the catagories were GONE! Not
unselectable, the right side of the dialogue was blank. Wierd.

I'm using mail.yahoo.com as my web mail, and they have images load all the time.
it seems that they somehow have the power to change my preferences and that SUCKS.

Reporter, do you still this problem with the latest nightly (or even 1.5)? If
not, this bug can be closed. Thanks.
