Firefox Images

[BSRU]

At work I have my Firefox browser set not to download images but this morning version 23 was automatically downloaded and this feature is no longer available via the tools/contents menu.

For anyone interested, after a quick google, downloading of images can be stopped by editing the about:config (on the URL line(where www normally goes))
permissions.default.images, setting it to 2.

It also breaks the URL bar always using the default search engine - it now uses the one you have selected in the search box. Most irritating. Thankfully there's a plugin to fix it:

Another reason why I generally use Chrome.

You shouldn't have to fix it tho but.
