View Full Version : Strange Mozilla firebird question

OK, I have a Mozilla Firebird question. The image below shows the "Image Manager" located.

Tools>Options>Web Features>permissions

Now, the browser (via right click) allows for the blocking of images from selected servers. When an image is blocked, the server address appears in the "Image Manager" as a URL.

What I'd like to know is, where are these values stored? What I'd like to do is SELECTIVELY block images from a server.

For example:

Take

http://www.fuckingshit.com

There is only one image I'd like to block from fuckingshit.com, and it's located at

http://www.fuckingshit.com/ads/annoyyouwithstupidimage.gif

Mozilla Firebird's "image manager" does NOT allow me to manually enter a specific, and only allows the blocking of ALL images from a certain server.

So it would be nice if these values (URLs listed in "image manager") were stored somewhere where I could edit them. Perhaps this is the case and someone knows? Thats what i'm hoping. (I plan on maybe asking at their forums later, but I just wanted to run this by my fellow ZP members).



As a side note, I would just like to point out that I have used software that can do this, specifically "Adshield", but thats for IE ONLY.

Perhaps someone has some recommendations for software that allows this kind of selective blocking, but at the same time

isn't

A bloated piece of shit

and is

B. Preferably free (not required; I am a P2P user afterall......heheheh)

Yes, i'm sure the topic of ad-blocking tools has been discussed on Zeropaid, but it's a tougher thing to search for, being that "ad" is only 2 characters long, and the search function can be about as useful as a 3-legged race horse at times.

Besides, I haven't seen a thread like this in a while.

I think firebird stores its settings under windows/application data or some variant on that.

I use agnitum firewall and can block individual ads or photos and it is freeware.

all over that url... who would have thought that it would be unused?

I was wanting to see what you wanted blocked, but no...

Hmm, i've always been intrigued by proxomitron, although I do have some reservations about it slowing down surfing a bit (it acts like a proxy between you and the internet from what i've heard).


Perhaps this is false or at least a nominal thing?


Maybe i'll give it a try.

Try an extension:

AdBlock (http://adblock.mozdev.org/)
NukeImage (http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/)

For a little image fun do a CRTL+A

Thanks collideous, those are some nice links (they have been bookmarked).

I've just decided to give proxomitron a go and see what happens (so far i'm pleased).

If it fails me in some way, I may refer back to those links though.
