Why do i no longer have the option to NOT download images as content

My reason for this is living in Australia where our government with their head in the sand attitude, does not see it as necessary to provide quality internet connections to the rural population thus we have to rely on wireless broadband technology which is very slow at most hours of the day therefore my need to not download the large images of webpages. I get by without them. Was using firefox 22.0 till a reinstall was necessary & firefox 29.0.1 no longer had this feature. I was given v29.0.1. Haven't looked at more recent versions. Is there a fix around this.

I think the problem was that many users blocked images accidentally on the right-click menu, so the feature was "buried" a little deeper.
To globally turn off loading of images, you can "uncheck the box" by changing a setting in the about:config preferences editor. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''perm''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''permissions.default.image''' preference and edit the value to 2, then click OK:
* 1 = Load automatically
* 2 = Do not load images
* 3 = Load "first party" images automatically, but no others ("first party" means the image needs to be hosted on the server shown in the address bar)
This should take effect on your next page load.
For an easier way to adjust this setting, you can use an extension to add a toolbar button. The following extension covers numerous different types of content, but if you only want a button for images, you should be able to show just that one:

This older extension adds a button to turn images on and off on a per-tab basis, but I don't think it can override the global setting so if you use a lot of new tabs, it probably won't accomplish your objective:

Hope this helps.

    Hi AbbyZiva
    I understand since updating to Win8 you don't have the "no scaling" option available.
    Did you uninstall and reinstall the printer after doing the Windows upgrade?
    Here is a url for the drivers for the Photosmart Plus 200.

  • I have an IPhone 3; when i checked my messages earlier some had been deleted. Upon looking at the settings i noticed my message settings have changed! I no longer have the option of how long to keep my SMS messages etc. Can anyone help?

    I have an IPhone 3; when i checked my messages earlier some had been deleted. Upon looking at the settings i noticed my message settings have changed! I no longer have the option of how long to keep my SMS messages etc. Can anyone help?

    The iOS settings for the iPhone 3 never had an option to determine how long you wanted to save messages. That settings is new to iOS8. As far as some being deleted, there is nothing about the phone that should delete messages without some user intervention. Try a reset on the phone, this will not affect your data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

    This is actually based on how the site handles different file types; Hotmail gives it to the browser as "application/octet-stream" or something like it, whereas sites that properly open it in the browser tag it as "application/pdf". Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about this without setting up a proxy to rewrite the HTTP headers. Complaints to Hotmail in the past haven't worked, and it's not possible to override the behavior in Firefox.

  • HT4847 I no longer have the iPhone & do not need the extra storage in Icloud. How do I cancel this?

    I no longer have the iPhone & do not need the extra storage in Icloud. How do I cancel this?

    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade but only within 15 days of buying:
    Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
    However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.  julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
    it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
    Poster 'CCrefund' has posted a method applicable to users in the UK: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21002309#21002309
    If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
    and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'.

  • I no longer have the option to "Send an Error Report" to Apple?

    After installing Mountain Lion last week, my apps are crashing like crazy. Why do I no longer get the dialog that asks me if I want to send the error report to Apple?

    No setting that does not enable automatic sending. Click the question mark at the bottom of the preference page for a description.
    You will be bale to set how you want the reports sent for an app to automatically, manually or never.
    Set reporting options
    If an app quits unexpectedly, or you must force an app to quit or must restart your computer, you’ll be offered the opportunity to collect information about the problem and send it to Apple.
    If you choose to send the data to Apple, you can then specify any one of the reporting options for future information collection:
    Automatic reporting
    No reporting
    Ask each time
    Automatic reporting of diagnostic and usage information is off by default, and occurs only if you have given consent.To select automatic reporting: When prompted, make sure “Don’t ask me again” is selected, and then click OK.After you click OK, automatic reporting of diagnostic and usage information begins, and information is periodically sent to Apple anonymously. You will not be prompted again unless you deselect “Send diagnostic & usage data to Apple” in the Privacy pane of Security & Privacy preferences.To select no reporting: When prompted, make sure “Don’t ask me again” is selected, and then click No Thanks. No information is sent to Apple.To select ask each time: When prompted, deselect “Don’t ask me again.” You then have the option to agree or disagree each time a diagnostic event described above occurs.
    Show
    But for this to work at all you have to have the checkbox checked.

  • I bought and downloaded CS3 - Production Premium in 2008.  I no longer have the option to download on the "My Products and Services" page.  Why?

    When I go to "My Account" under "My Products and Services" I can see my purchase associated with my account but there is no longer an option to download.
    Any help please?
    Thanks you in advance!

    Ppgiron you can contact our support team to re-enable your downloads at Adobe - Contact Support – Download and Installation.  Alternately you are welcome to download the installation files at Download CS3 products.  I would recommend making a back up in case you need a copy of the installation files again in the future.

  • What happened to the organize bookmarks option in firefox 4, I no longer have the option after upgrading to 4 from 3.6

    also in the file menu the option of import/export bookmarks is no longer there. Is there a newfangled way to organize and back up book marks, or have I lost all control of manually editing and backing up my book marks?

    Organize bookmarks is now called "Show All Bookmarks" in the Bookmarks menu. It opens up the same bookmarks organizer that was in Firefox 3.6
