So this is a Firefox question.
Does anybody know how to turn off image loading, but only for one website?
The C++ tutorial Warp pointed out seems fairly good, but the Flash
animations are maxing out my CPU (to the point where I can't scroll the
window). And it's just annoying having to constantly turn image loading
on and off by hand...

I dunno, but the reason I preferred Netscape over IE is because when
image loading is turned off in NS, a button appeared on the toolbar.
Clicking the button caused all of the images to be loaded for the
current page. I was on dial-up, and most of the time I didn't want the
images.
Regards,
John

Flash animations have nothing to do with images.
Anyways, there's an option in the firefox preferences where you can
blacklist/whitelist images from specified websites. Should be in the
"Content" tab (or whatever it is in the Windows version; for some odd
reason the preferences dialog is different in Windows than in Linux).

Yep in the Content tab you can add exceptions to the Load images
automatically, however as Warp points out Flash != images. Try the
FlashBlock add-on it replaces the Flash item with a clickable play arrow
so you only activate the Flash items you want to play; other options
available via it to.
There is another add-on available called ImgLikeOpera, which does what i
t
says in the title.

True. But turning off "load images" and "load Java" and "load
JavaScript" stops them from appearing. So I'm guessing the options are
just badly named.

OK, I'll take a look around.

Hmm, that's pretty random...

You might also be interested in the prefbar addon:

That does indeed look potentially useful...

Thank you. That should take care of some misbehaving Flash ads on a site I
regularly visit.
I dislike seeing one of my CPUs maxed out by the web browser.

Agreed...
(Although in my case it's just because I have an old PC.)

Sadly, it appears that it blocks images according to which domain the
image is loaded from, not which domain the HTML requesting it is loaded
from. >_<
