You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

• Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
• Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
• Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page.

You can look at the Adblock Plus extension if you want to block content.

• Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/

You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).

None of the solutions above allows me to block display of all images on a web page or to prevent scripts from running. Preventing pop-ups does not cut it. I want to see a web page that, without my explicit permission, displays nothing but text on every site. This has to do with regular content on pages, not advertisements. So far, it seems, the new Firefox is unable to provide this security.

These days so many 'advertisers' (so they call themselves) are competing more and more viciously to hijack web pages that I need to access by using auto-linking and animated images to get around ad-blockers. I need to be able to block everything except text on a page unless i give specific information to allow it for a particular site - some sites do not allow those ads and I can release the restrictions on those sites.

I am not using Firefox, and also have some complaints about other browsers; I am considering doing all my work on the Tor browser.

Have you tried using one of these add-ons? I'm not sure that they cover everything you're looking for but if its just an image blocker they might do the trick. Just want to say that I have never used these myself so I can't say how well they work or not, so it might be a good idea to go through some reviews.

As for blocking scripts, try (both of these can work together as they do different things):

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/requestpolicy/

I use both. It takes a while to set them up to allow sites that you frequently use and trust, but they do everything I expect them to do, hopefully they'll help you too. NoScript blocks scripts and RequestPolicy blocks cross-site requests.

All the other browsers I use provide this image blocking feature in their settings. Only the new Firefox versions do not have this setting - the older versions of Firefox did have the settings and they were apparently dropped by short-sighted developers.

This is the kind of gaffe reminiscent of Microsoft's tablet gaffe where they "decided" not to include 4G. Thousands of people who would have upgraded to the MS tablets instead switched to Apple because of the 4G issue.

When you re-add this feature, please let me know. I will not use an add-on for a feature that ought to be included in Firefox. Goodbye Firefox!

right-click somewhere on a page where you want to block images, go to view page info > permissions and set them accordingly....
