How to disable loading images in Puppy Mozilla?
Posted: Mon 23 May 2005, 06:37
I recently tried the new release of the live CD of Puppy (1.02) in hopes of fixing this problem:
Ever since Puppy started bundling beta versions of Mozilla, I have never been able to disable loading of images. No matter what I do, all images always load on all sites. I have tried all of the following to no avail:
1. Edit - Preferences - Privacy & Security - Images - Do not load any images.
2. Tools - Image Manager - Block Images from this Site and Manage Image Permissions.
3. Manually changing several image settings in about:config.
4. Modifying the prefs.js file manually.
Any of the above will pretend to modify settings by making changes in the UI and in the prefs.js file. However, NONE of them actually prevent images from loading. Ever. As a dial-up user, I'd rather not waste time loading unnecessary images, ad banners, etc. Hitting the Escape key on every site gets old fast....
For reference, I have no problems modifying these settings on the Windows versions of Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, etc. without installing any extensions (though I do not run beta versions of Mozilla.) Is this an ongoing bug in Puppy itself or is it the beta version of Mozilla that is the source of these problems? Thanks in advance to anyone who can confirm these issues.
