Disable images?

How are images disabled in FF Android v81.1.1?

I've been using Mozilla/Firefox since Mozilla 1.0. My default is to browse with images off. Since upgrading to FF Android v79, that isn't possible, and v81.1.1 is no different. I'm already using Opera because of this shortcoming, but much prefer switching back to FF.

If images can't be disabled, are there plans to add this ability?

TIA, Mark Z.

Hi Mark, currently there is no built-in feature to disable images but you can use the uBlock Origin extension to do it.

To install:

menu > Add-ons -- look for the list of Recommended Add-ons

After installing:

menu > Add-ons > uBlock Origin

Cast your gaze down past the current site controls and tap Open the Dashboard

On the "Settings" panel, scroll down to the "Default behavior" section.

Turn on "Block media elements larger than" and set the desired size. Using 0 (zero) will block all images, audio, and video.

I have experimented with this for 90 seconds, so I'm sure there are more nuances, but:

  • To retrieve and display an image/video on a page, I just need to tap it (no idea about audio)
  • If the image is linked, a second tap activates the link
  • To make a site exception, I need to go to menu > Add-ons > uBlock Origin, then tap the relevant icon

Maybe that will help?
