This appears to be a new way of getting around the "Block Images From This
Server" feature in Mozilla (and/or passing the image bandwidth charges to the
web site owner). If you block the ad image, all of sportsline.com's images are
blocked, which would be understandable. However, this site is running a script
remotely to let ad.doubleclick.net know that its ad has been clicked.
Essentially, this is an unblockable ad with all the functionality of past ads.
Is there a way to stop this workaround before other people start to go around
the image blocking feature currently in Mozilla? It may require a completely new
method of blocking.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL http://cbs.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/6926375
2. Try to block ad
3.
Actual Results:
All pics blocked.
Expected Results:
Only ad pics need to be blockable.

I agree. Thx for pointing that out and sorry about not catching that - maybe I
would've caught this with a more thorough search of existing bugs. :)
