About this Add-on

Image Block adds a toggle button that conditionally blocks/allows loading of images on webpages. The toggle button is added to the navigation toolbar (extreme right) by default. Blocking images results in faster browsing, especially helpful on handheld devices or slower connections like GSM/GPRS/EDGE dial-up etc.

Recently in a review one user (thanks dellvin!) pointed out that Image Block is quite useful when you visit websites which show dirty and adult advertisements, while also containing useful information. If you are not sure of what you are about to see on a webpage, just block images to avoid possible embarrassment.

It can also be used at work where your boss doesn't allow you to surf the web or social networking websites!! They look very different (hard to see which site you are viewing) with image blocking on.

- Version 2.1 fixes a couple of bugs, adds tooltip and french language ( thanks to Vincent Caron for this update).
- Version 2.0 fixes compatibility issues with Firefox 3.5, it also adds the button to the navigation toolbar by default.

Very simple image blocking extension, hopefully useful!

This is my the first extension, I always try to "Keep It Simple, Stupid"

Developer’s Comments

Version 2.1:
This update is made possible by the efforts of Vincent CARON (20100.caron@gmail.com), he fixed a couple of bugs, added tooltip and french language. I did nothing :p

All issues / bugs mentioned in the reviews have been fixed for now. Thanks to all the reviewers for taking out the time to send us the bugs.

Thanks Caron!

Version 2.0:

I'm sorry for a long delayed update, I appreciate the interest shown by all the users (especially people who wrote to me, if it was not for you guys I would have never updated this addon!)

Please send bugs and comments to mozilla@hemantvats.com

PS: I something doesn't work for you, please write me a mail instead of just writing a bad review (not that I really care!) A review doesn't give me any information to solve your problem.
