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.

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:

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. >_<

It means that if a single web page loads adverts from 25 different
domains, I have to manually block all 25 domains, one at a time.
(Assuming I can somehow figure out where the images are being loaded
from. The HTML source is like spaghetti and half of it is JS-generated.)

Use adblock in that case. You can right-click on the image and select
to block images from that site from the context menu.

There is a FlashBlock addon available. I have it. It's one of those "can't live
without" things, side by side with the addblock addon.
Go on the Mozilla web site, navigate to the addons section and search for
flashblock.
You can configure it to disable all flash but those you want. It use a white
list. The place where a flash is suposed to appears is still there, but with a
"F" button allowing you to start THAT flash, this time.

Here's what I have.
General ad image blocking, I use adblock as Warp pointed out. At the
bottom of my message you'll find the regexps I use - works well enough.
If you want to be really thorough, get Adblock Plus, which I believe
allows you to automatically download good filtersets.
Flashblock has been mentioned, but I've never used it. Instead, I use
NoScript. It prevents scripts of any kind from loading (Java,
Javascript, Flash, etc). It's quite customizable, and you could probably
use it for just one page. I find it convenient to have it on all the
time and simply whitelist certain pages.
Like FlashBlock, Noscript will show a clickable area wherever there's
Java/Flash content. You merely have to click it and press OK to get just
that aspect of the site working.
(Then there's CookieSafe for your cookie concerns...).

IMO there's the danger in such generic filtering that it will sometimes
filter something which is *not* an ad, and might be relevant to the contents
of the website.
I prefer using adblock on a site-by-site basis. In other words, whenever
there's an obnoxious ad that bothers my concentration, I block images from
that url+path.

Have to say I'm surprised that anybody here is using Firefox and isn't
using FlashBlock and AdBlock; you might want to add Duplicate Tab, Web
Developer and Session Manger too.

I've never heard of any of these things. I just use Firefox to, you
know, browse the Internet...

I've mentioned Adblock and NoScript a bunch of times on these groups.

Hasn't happened yet. Perhaps I did block non-ads, but they weren't
important enough for me to realize.

I used to do it on a site basis, but it didn't work well for me. I
don't want to merely remove ads from sites I visit often. I want to
remove them from as many sites as possible, including a site I've never
seen that I may visit today.

With adblock, you can use "*" as a wildcard. So, I want to block some add? I
right-click the offending add and sélect block... In the dialog that show up, I
replace most of the string by a single *. Hit the return key and close. Voilà, I
see about 12+ ads disapear at once :) And if I encounter add by that server
anywhere else, they to, are blocked.
Some of the blocking strings are: "*doubleclick*", "*adbrite*", "*adserve*",...
or something like "<some site URL>/banner/*" if I want to remove the banners but
not the rest of the content.

I have a flash-block! On my WinXP laptop, the privileged account can see
flash, and the non-administrator account doesn't show it. I haven't
quite figured that out. I even tried granting privs to the usual
account, installing flash, and revoking the privs, and it still doesn't
work. (Hmmm... I'll have to see if it works if I try it with the privs
turned on.)
Any ideas?

You said half of the pages are made with JS, so I'd guess disabling JS
would disable those adverts.
I have pretty simple solution myself - I don't have flash player installed.
