by rcronk, 5 years agoThanks for writing this! I really like how it disables/enables images without a refresh of the page! I'm using it for the same purpose at work. The only request I have is that it stay enabled (i.e. blocking images) when I exit and restart firefox. Currently, if I exit firefox and restart it, the plug-in doesn't start blocking images until I enable it again. I'll give it 5 stars if that feature gets added. Thanks again for making this!

- Rated 3 out of 5by shnoulle, 2 years agoI like to use it for accessibility checker, but there are 2 issues :
- Alt text are not shown
- background-image are not hidden.
Else : do the job ;) - Rated 4 out of 5by Pipps, 3 years agoGreat add-on. Can we have a right-click menu option for five stars please?

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13930357, 4 years agoWell just like the name "Hide Image", it just hide downloaded/loaded image. My expectation is block any image url from loading.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Thany, 5 years agoImages are NOT being disabled at all. They are just being blanked out. Images are still being downloaded with each page, and they still take up space.
On top of that, dear author, can you please change the icon from a generic "prohibited" streetsign to something recognizable as pertaining to images? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14106897, 6 years agoMakes it so much more peaceful to browse the web at work!
- Rated 4 out of 5by sur, 6 years agogood idea, but a bit of stupid bugs.
You could want to update according to this code:

Hello again, I've made another addon based on this one:
https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/hide-all-images/
It has all the bugs fixed and extends functionality (hiding background images in tables, for example, youtube videos previews)Developer response
posted 5 years agoHi sur. Truthfully i wrote this in 20min in Scite. The story about porn popping up while browsing at work was true. I just needed a simple solution for myself. It does exactly what i want it to do and I just couldn't be bothered to change it. You however are welcome to reuse my code... *cough* *cough* - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14181158, 6 years agoIt's so easy to use. Temporarily turn off images on pages when you're in a public space.
