- by Firefox user 10622602, 7 years agoRated 4 out of 5Great add-on to have. I don't often come across things that I need to use it for since I have other add-ons that take care of most of my problems, but this is nice to have all the same. Very useful!
- by Sonic Purity, 7 years agoRated 2 out of 5While Image Block appears to work as intended for live Internet sites, it fails to do what i as a website developer need: block images on site pages on my hard drive, under development. Maybe this is a limitation of FF itself?
(Running TenFourFox 24, equivalent to FF 24, on a PPC Mac) - by W , 7 years agoRated 4 out of 5This is a very useful add-on. However, I have to click "Find updates" for this add-on and restart Firefox twice because it is reported to be incompatible with FF 26.0, although it still works. Any chance this small inconvenience can be fixed?
- by GoldSrc, 7 years agoRated 5 out of 5Amazing, and helpful when I don't want to waste data on pictures, plus it makes browsing the Internet faster.
- by goldie, 7 years agoRated 4 out of 5Its functionality is much needed now that the image auto-loading option was removed from Ff' options dialog (Idiocracy ftw?), but the plugin has a 'flaw' or a nag - its icon cannot be moved on or between the toolbar(s). I can live with that. It seems to really not load the images, not just hide them.
- by Gengpu, 7 years agoRated 3 out of 5It's effective, and easy to use.
However, sometimes it will crash the browse. e.g. visiting ww.jd.com with it enabled will lead to a hang. - by Dennis, 7 years agoRated 3 out of 5The button is on the address bar.
Not documented how to turn on/off. Had to read the reviews for clues. Does not allow you to select sites to block, just blocks all images.
I am looking for something in options that I can turn off images selectively from certain sites. Going to uninstall this one.
If you want to remove ALL images from current page, this is probably handy and it's accessible on the toolbar. - by LCharlles, 7 years agoRated 2 out of 5Bloqueia mas não é possível arrastar o botão da barra de ferramentas...
- by Firefox user 10259300, 7 years agoRated 1 out of 5May be good add on. But I could not find any image where the icon in navigation bar it will appear. In TOOLS--> add-ons I don't see any OPTION for this image block add on.
IN SCREENSHOTS PLEASE ADD THE IMAGE how to access the add on - by Firefox user 10252940, 7 years agoRated 5 out of 5Great for slow or memory-limited connections. No problems with it so far. More convenient than the "load images automatically" option that was supressed in Mozilla Firefox V23.
- by Baatman, 7 years agoRated 5 out of 5I feel this is an essential add-on since many time I have to wait for a website, heavily loaded with images, to load. This is great! I don't know why Firefox removed it from the new version, but this add-on works even better.
- by mrbunnylamakins, 7 years agoRated 3 out of 5How come the button is only allowed to be on the Navigation bar ? It will not remove off it.
- by prempatel8, 8 years agoRated 3 out of 5it blocks the pics but you have to manually reload the webpage which is irritating, wish there was a option to auto reload the page, also i wish there was a option to blur the images instead of completely blocking the pics this way you can check a websites pics before completely loading the webpage thus avoiding any accidental adult content.
- by sgdtechs, 8 years agoRated 5 out of 5I LOVE this add-on, I'm only sad it doesn't block Google and Bing search result's :( Any chance you'll be adding that functionality anytime soon?
- by thuerrsch, 8 years agoRated 3 out of 5Although this add-on works as advertised and comes in handy for users who frequently switch between different types of internet connections (slow/fast, metered/unmetered, cheap/expensive), I find its single unmovable toolbar button a very poor UI design choice.
The Quick Java add-on is, despite its name, a much better and more powerful alternative, allowing to toggle images as well as various other browser features from the add-on toolbar.
