(Core :: Graphics: Image Blocking, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050606
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050606

I compiled from nightly source 5th may, again from 13 June, same bug.
Image manager is there, sites can be selected to be blocked, but it
doesn't work. Made sure no images already downloaded locally/cached.

I'm compiling the suite. In case it's a factor, here is my config:

./configure --localstatedir=/var --prefix=/usr --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu --with-x
--with-pthreads --with-system-jpeg --with-system-zlib --with-system-png
--enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --disable-ldap --disable-calendar --enable-xft
--disable-pango --enable-postscript --disable-xprint --disable-gnomevfs
--disable-gnomeui --enable-crypto --disable-jsd --enable-plugins
--disable-logging --enable-strip --enable-necko-protocols=all --disable-debug
--disable-necko-disk-cache --enable-necko-small-buffers --enable-mathml
--enable-svg --enable-composer --disable-xinerama --disable-freetype2
--enable-cookies --enable-extensions=cookie,transformiix,wallet,xmlextras
--enable-mailnews --enable-application=suite --enable-svg-renderer=libart
--disable-accessibility


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I posted the configure above, for compiling.

Choosing "Block images on this site", or going into the Image Manager,
whatever, makes no difference, blocking does not work.

Actual Results:  
Blocking does not work.


Expected Results:  
Images should have been blocked.

Is this still an issue?

If it still an issue, you need the permissions extension in order to have image
blocking working.

Yes, thank you. I discovered that recently, permissions extension
does the trick.
You can retire this bug!
