(Firefox :: Disability Access, enhancement)

Description

[Rene Schwietzke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Firefox has some nice features to allow only images from the originating web
site or to block certain image servers from being used. This is great, but on
the other hand there is not visual feedback of blocked images. Firefox just
leaves the part of the web page blank.
This leads to unnecessary bug reports, and questions about the quality of the
software or network. We are all human and often forget, that we intentionally
disabled the display. It also makes it much easier to enable the images loading
for certain images on demand, when we know that there is an image on the page.

The browser does not even display the alternative text for blocked images.

How about some kind of grey shaded area in right image size including an overlay
of the alternative image text?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use remore images on an web page, use alt in img tag
2. Block image server or enable feature "allow only images from originating web
page"
3. View page and decide, whether a visual feedback of the blocked image would be
nice or not

Actual Results:  
Once during search for a potential defect, but is was my fault.

Expected Results:  
Display a grey area with alternative image text as overlay.
