318177 - Add menu option to enable/disable Images on the fly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

Build Identifier: 

I frequently disable/enable images on the fly because I'm on dialup. 
It's quite annoying to load Tools>Options everytime on my slow computer. 
Options takes a while to load, then a while to switch tabs.

Personally, I think Options should be for preferences that you want set in stone, while the menu should be for things you want to change often/quickly.


Reproducible: Always

I did...
Context menus and file menus are different. Unless the other bug is also for a File menu option, I think this is different.

I believe the other bug is for loading individual images that are not loaded.
This is for choosing to load all images or do not load any images via a file menu, such as View.

There was an extension that did this, but it no longer exists by the looks of things.  Perhaps you could fix this quickly with a shortcut key?

No... Although that extension looks quite good, I was thinking of one called Image Show-Hide.  I searched for it, and I found a page that linked to the extension, but now it's gone.  Essentially, it was a check-box in the status bar that would toggle the Firefox setting and toggle all images instantly.  It was compatible with 1.0.2 but must have faded away... :(

This is a niche feature at best.  WONTFIX.
