denying or accepting images in firefox 2.0.06

Hi - I haven't touched base in qjuite a while because things have been going pretty well for me on the Internet. Now I have a problem dealing with the images features on this edition. When I am on DLS or wireless I always let images load automatically because speed is not an issue. However, when I'm on dialup I don't want images to load automatically. I go to Tools>Options>Contents and uncheck "load images automatically ". Then I go to "Exceptions" and put in a couple of sites where I want pictures to load such as my home page. I click on OK. When I go back to my home page I have to restart FF in order to get the home page images to load. However, every url I visit now loads images. When I go back into the contents menu Load Images Automatically is checked. Strange. If I close FF then start over the Load Images Automatically box is checked. Now only the exceptions I have listed load with images. Any thoughts?

#2 If I open a web page and images are not loaded how can I get them to load? If I close out and reload that does nothing. I did install ImgLikeOpera which is a neat little program. Howevr, I'd like to be able to tell Firefox to load images on a page if I decide I want them. Is there a way to load images from the FF menu without having to go through the tedious steps or do I need to use ImgLikeOpera each time?

Thanks

lgbest,

The new test Profile might cure this problem. Let us know.

 

Thanks Ramona. Where do I find the new test Profile?

Graham,

Had my creatures mixed up, sorry about that!

Sounds like Firefox is confused by the changes to your image preferences. Try creating a separate Profile for Dial-up, rather than changing image preferences when you switch from DSL to Dial-up.
