When a user disables images, if the image has an alt attribute with text content the image is replaced by that content, there is no indication that a replacement has occurred, so there is no way a user can recognize what is a replacement for image content.This effectively removes the users option to view an image, by right clicking on the replacement text and selecting 'view image' 
same goes for an image with an empty alt attribute or a missing alt attribute. and for an image with an incorrect src.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.disable images in firefox
2.go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/underthehood/
3. try to determine the location of images that are not displayed.
Actual Results:  
unable to find images and unable to load an image using the context menu.

Expected Results:  
Indication of replaced images, providing ability to locate and load an image using the context menu.
