Images on a web page sometimes do not get displayed.  You can test it going to
the URL Pointed above which is
"http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/15/review.dance/".  As you can
observe, the images of "Richard Gere" is not visible.  View this in IE and the
image is visible just fine.

I tested this with default options only.  I don't have any extensions or themes
on my PC.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the URL
2. Notice that a few images have failed to render
3. View the same page in IE.  Those images will be clearly visible.

Actual Results:  
The URL got displayed without all of the images.

The image is blocked as it is from a third party server.

Please configure Firefox, Tools->Options->Webfeatures:
[x] Load images
   [ ] for the originating website only

As you can see below, the originating website is cnn.com, but the image comes
from cnn.net

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
