Block certain images on FireFox

[Bethany-Wings]

Is there something I can use to block certain images on the internet? There seems to be someone following me around on Gaia Online, posting in the topics I'm subscribed to. I even got a private message with an image in there. I just need something to block certain images, not all images from a site. Just certain ones.

Help? Is there an application? Or something I can add onto Firefox to block certain images?

Would it not be better to report the offender?

Anyway, Clevin is your man on this forum for all things Firefox

Yes, if you use Firefox you can download the Adblock Plus add-on, which allows you to right-click on any image and add it to the 'blocked' list.

I've TRIED reporting the offender...but it's about 20 different users! And whenever I TRY to go back from the post, my browser crashes from the sheer size of the stupid image.

Adblock Plus? I'm assuming you have to pay money for that...I have none... I'm completely flat broke...but, thanks for the help there.

Clevin? I'll try him...thanks.

Wait...hang on...I found that add-on...thanks!

Right, adblock plus is free. As long as the image in question can be identified by a wildcard -- i.e. it either always has the same URL or at least some part such as the image name is the same -- you can block it with adblock. You can use the asterisk as a wildcard. So, for instance, if the image is always named "troll.jpg", you could block it with the filter

*troll.jpg*

... Although that would also block any other image that ends in troll.jpg, so be careful on that front.
