No, you're 100% correct. I had the same problems when coding the adblock
extension. I got around it by simply not writing a "show blocked
objects" action (the only way to show them is to disable the extension
and reload the page).

(By the way, the adblock extension works very well with a couple of
patches applied to Mozilla/Firefox -- if you're on a low-bandwidth
connection, I heartily recommend trying it out to save on downloads you
don't want. It's very accurate.)

The Mozilla bug you referenced does point to a "showimage" Firefox
extension, though, which probably contains a hack which could let us do
what we want. <http://showimage.mozdev.org>
