Block Pop-up Windows

Unchecking this optionpreference will disable pop-up blocking.
Some web sites make legitimate use of pop-up windows. Therefore, you can
allow these sites to open pop-ups anyway. To do so, click
Exceptions..., enter the site name, and click Allow. To
remove a web site from the list, select it and then click Remove
Site. To clear the list completely, click Remove All Sites.

Firefox displays images in web pages by default. Uncheck this

and click Allow to allow images, or click Block to block
the images.
