Image permissions

2010-01-11 Thread Rex
Today I thought I'll try out the 'accept images from originating server 
only' (although I already use adblock).

I opened my Twitter page, and all the user profile pics were blocked.
Found that they were coming from a0, a1, a2, a3.twimg.com
Now the problem is that the image permissions window forces you to 
specify the full URL of each subdomain separately. Can we have wildcard 
support in a future release, eg always block *.doubleclick.net, or 
always allow *.twimg.com ?

This is bug #78104.

Interesting Bug

(I find it funny that the Bugzilla page shows 291 warnings using the 
HTML Validator extension)


I'm finding so far the only two pages that appear to be correct is 
Mozilla's Home Page and my website.

While the W3C validator reported 14 warnings (not 291) for the cited bug
report, it did not find any HTML errors.

Wow, quite an old bug. But it seems to suggest adding AdBlock like 
features into Mozilla as the thread progresses. Instead of going into 
regexes, it would be nice to be just able to allow simple wildcards for 
permissible image servers.
