The image blocker only allows you to block images from sites you're visiting.
This is annoying, especially since quite a few sites have other sites setting
the images, so you have to travel to them in order to block them. Also, flash
movies are increasingly becoming used to advertise, and they do not get blocked
by the image blocked. I suggest that image blockers have an option to add sites
to it, and also have an option to add to the filename extensions that the
blocker checks.

Note: adding images to the blocked list directly (without visiting them) is
already possible in Mozilla 1.6 (can't remember if it was in 1.5 or earlier).
