In my experience, the remote support, single check mark setting on the Mac doesn't allow all images to be downloaded, including normal stuff like images from the Boston Globe and other sites. The support page is a for a windows version of TBird and it's not possible on the Mac to specify individual sites to be allowed to download as shown in the documentation. Is this going to be fixed? It's a PITA the way it is. If I have missed a way to get this functionality to work correctly, please let me know. My TBird version is 78.6.1 and OS X Mojave 10.14.6 Thanks

I meant "allow remote images" instead of "remote support above.
