The "block images from this site" option in Mozilla works wonderful.

Except for one thing. Some sites make you pay for this luxury by loading a flash animation if the image can't be loaded. It seems.

How do I go about blocking these, without disabling flash altogether?

My favourite method of anti-flash is to use this code as a bookmark called 'Kill Flash', and it only gets rid of the flash on the current page, so you're not disabling flash altogether, just getting rid of the stuff you don't want...

javascript:function kd(d){var i,a=d.embeds;for(n=0;n

obviously this needs to be a single line, so be carefull when you copy/paste it.

Have Fun, Jim.

I've been using a mozilla add-on called "diggler". It puts a little menu right on the toolbar, which lets you do the image selection without having to edit preferences. Just a quick click will let you turn off images, images from same site, or all images. It is all done in javascript, so you could probably add that to the diggler menu. http://diggler.mozdev.org/ -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
