Block Displaying of Images in Firefox and Internet Explorer

Problem: Your internet connection is quite slow and the website you are visiting contains a considerable number of images. You are more interested with the content rather than the images. How can you configure your Firefox or Internet Explorer to NOT display images as you visit the website?

Solution (Firefox):
- hover the mouse on an image and right click on it.
- select "Block Images from " option.


NOTE: Firefox will automatically apply the setting... but it will display a notification and an Undo button.


Solution (Internet Explorer):
- Navigate Tools > Internet Options

- In the Advanced tab, locate Show pictures option under Multimedia. Un-check it then click OK button.

Internet Explorer Discoveries #1

Problem: When I'm accessing a website with a login box, the Internet Explorer (IE) browser is asking me:


We can turn it off right there and then by ticking the checkbox "Don't offer to remember any more passwords". However, how do you turn it on later?


Solution: Navigate Tools > Internet Options.


In the Internet Options Dialog, open the Content tab, and click on the Settings button in the AutoComplete section


In the AutoComplete Settings Dialog tick the checkbox "Prompt me to save passwords". Hit OK button to save the settings.
