Hi,

Am having a weird issue with iceweasel: permissions.default.image is set to 3, which means that third-party images should NOT be loaded, yet iceweasel loads images from wikimedia.org (and possibly some other third-party sites). Below is an html snippet I used to test the issue, I see two images, in paragraphs 1 and 3, though none should have been loaded as per permissions.default.image=3 setting. The external image in paragraph 2 is not loaded or shown, correctly.

Any ideas? Thanks


Test html snippet:

<html>
<body>
    <p>0. about:config property <b>permissions.default.image=3</b></p>
    <hr/>
    <p>1. The following image from wikimedia.org should not be loaded if permissions.default.image is set to 3 (no third-party images):</p>
    <p><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Alexander-Maria.jpg"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Alexander-Maria.jpg" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
    <hr/>
    <p>2. An image from pinimg.com should not be loaded as well:</p>
    <p><a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/77/0e/21/770e21f681a5e0267e5ce0dcdbc0ddb3.jpg"><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/77/0e/21/770e21f681a5e0267e5ce0dcdbc0ddb3.jpg" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
    <hr/>
    <p>3. The same wikimedia.org image again:</p>
    <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Alexander-Maria.jpg"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Alexander-Maria.jpg" style="max-width:100%;"></a>
</body>
