Good Way to Block All Pictures? And Block More Pain/Animation?
Is there a good way to block all pictures, and block some pain/animation, when loading sites? I know that due to the proliferation of Javascript, it won't be possible to block all pain/animation.
Ideally, for my needs, something which leaves placeholders, with a way to load all pictures on the site, and a way to load individual pictures.
I think there may be add-ons, but https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ has a lot of pain/animation.

I've tried Block Image/Video. It blocked some images on each page but not all, and didn't have a way to unblock select images.
Hi Marja
I have some PrefBar buttons that can block specific content (Images, Media, Plugins, JavaScript, CSS). See the Attributes section for some details:
This is done at docShell level and works in the current tab tab (i.e. it is limited to this specific tab and not to a specific website/domain). This is also all or nothing, so you would need a content blocking extension like uBlock Origin or uMatrix to block selected content.
I don't know if you can disable this content in a new tab by default. I usually first open a new tab and disable what I do not want to see and then load the page. You can try to ask advice at the PrefBar thread at mozillaZine if you want to investigate this to see if you can block content automatically in a new tab.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site and your first question post needs approval.
Tab-BlockImages:
{
"prefbar:info": {
"formatversion": 3
},
"prefbar:menu:enabled": {
"items": [
"prefbar:button:prefbartabimages"
]
},
"prefbar:button:prefbartabimages": {
"label": "TAB: Images",
"type": "extcheck",
"browserbtnupdatefor": "tab",
"setfunction": "CallFrameScript(value);",
"getfunction": "CallFrameScript(null, SetValue);",
"framescript": "if (docShell) {\n switch(caller) {\n case \"setfunction\":\n docShell.allowImages = argument;\n break;\n case \"getfunction\":\n reply = docShell.allowImages;\n break;\n }\n}"
}
}
Tab:BlockMedia:
{
"prefbar:info": {
"formatversion": 3
},
"prefbar:menu:enabled": {
"items": [
"prefbar:button:prefbartabmedia"
]
},
"prefbar:button:prefbartabmedia": {
"label": "TAB: Media",
"type": "extcheck",
"browserbtnupdatefor": "tab",
"setfunction": "CallFrameScript(value);",
"getfunction": "CallFrameScript(null, SetValue);",
"framescript": "if (docShell) {\n switch(caller) {\n case \"setfunction\":\n docShell.allowMedia = argument;\n break;\n case \"getfunction\":\n reply = docShell.allowMedia;\n break;\n }\n}"
}
}
Thank you, but I don't think I can change the settings for each and every tab.
