233679 - block images from server should block embedded flash animations too

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94035

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[Jason Stark]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

Blocking images from a server should block flash animations from that server as
well.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to cnn.com
2. If an image banner ad appears, right click on it and block images from server
3. Reload page until a flash ad appears

Actual Results:  
Embedded Flash animations are loaded even though images from that server have
been blocked

Expected Results:  
I believe the "image" term should be expanded to flash as well and flash
animations from servers from which images have been blocked should not be displayed.

Here's the bug you want.  It's an extremely popular bug that a lot of people
want implemented, so hopefully it'll get in soon.  Ideally, that would be before
Firefox 1.0, but unfortunately it's still in the works.  The patch on the bug
might do it, but it needs review.  Voting for it might help, though: above the
comments box, click on Vote for this bug and then add it to your votes.  Votes
help the devs see what is wanted most, and so hopefully they'll approve the
patch/fix it sooner rather than later.

filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
