In Internet Explorer there is a checkbox in the interet properties dialogue under "Advanced" to turn on or turn it off:
[_] Show image download placeholders.
I looked in Firefox, and there seems no way to turn it off. I was curious if there was a value in any of the files that any of you knew about where I could turn this feature off. Thanks in advance!

Ask around on the Mozilla forums. Tisk tisk to bumping your own thread.
Type "about:config", w/o quotation marks, in the address bar, look for the string "browser.display.show_image_placeholders", right-click the string, choose modify, and change to false. However, be advised of the following:
It's also possible to edit the preferences normally stored in user.js by entering about:config in the address bar and press Enter. You will see a list of all available preferences in Firefox (many of them are derived from Mozilla and are not used but not yet removed). Double-click on a preference to change its value. The changes you make here will be immediately stored in prefs.js, which is a file automatically generated by Firefox.
Therefore, I'm not sure if modifying that string will work.
Thanks, but its kinda workin, and kinda not. i still have the border where the image will be, but i dont have the little image icon. do you think you can rid of that, or not?
