Ann - In Firefox, you can block images and get text only this way...
Go to the Tools menu, click on Options, then click on the Content icon. In the window that opens un-check the box that says Load Images. To the right of the Load Images choice is a box labeled Exceptions. Click on that and follow the instructions to designate web sites from which you want to see the images.
