Is there any way to use Mozilla/Firebird's "Block images from this site" feature while using Hotmail? While logging in, you get tossed from passport.net site to hotmail.com site to hotmail.msn.com site like a (insert something politically incorrect here). But Hotmail often kills my dial-up, so I'd love to block their ads from loading. Hope me, please?

Help with Mozilla Thunderbird: I, somewhat foolishly, decided to upgrade my copy of Thunderbird yesterday at the same time as I was getting the new Fire[fox|bird]. I went from 0.3 to 0.5 and now I can't send mail from any of my accounts. [MI] [more inside]

Why has Mozilla Firebird 0.7 (on Windows XP) suddenly started truncating link URLs when I use File/Send Page to email them? It used to do this occasionally, but now it's doing it every time. [more inside]

Firebird/ Mozilla help. I am a complete idiot. At some point I broke the bookmark manager in the stable build of Firebird 0.7. So I did what any bleeding-edge egotist would do and downloaded a number of nightly builds. The bookmarks manager is fixed. However, my scrollbar has disappeared . . . [more inside] [more inside]

Is there any way to stop animated gifs from animating in Firebird? I'm just starting to use 0.7 (the last stable release), and I really like it, except that you apparently can't turn off the damn gifs. This is a deal-killer for me, I'm afraid. A gif (or several gifs, and I'm looking at you, Guardian) flashing at me is really distracting when I'm trying to read a page. (Bouncing java applets ditto, but they're another kind of problem.)

I've looked on the Mozilla boards and the answer seems to be, 'no, there's no way to stop the animation', but I thought I'd ask around just to sure. I don't want to go back to IE... [more inside]
