Firefox has an option to allow images "for the originating web site only". It seems that the only way to have it unselected is to turn off the option just above to "Load images". To see the problem notice that the banner logo here at webmasterworld is stored at [showcase.netins.net ]
Now my Firefox set up is seeing showcase.netins.net and saying block the image cause it's not from webmasterworld.com.

I can go in and put an exception that allows images from an external server and everything is ok, but it gets to be a little trouble when you are at a site buying something and you have to do the above just to see your "Submit" buttons.

I'm looking for solutions to smooth all this out since going default Firefox.

I would also be interested in knowing why images are located as they are here.
