Does anyone know how to block a background image from a website? I'm running Firefox, and the AdBlock doesn't show up if I click the background pic.

Wallpapers like that are all very nice, but sometimes they make it almost impossible to READ THE DAMN PAGE.

Better late than never, eh? After you posted this I was plagued with sites I wanted to block the background image on. So I had to find a way to do it. Hehehe. Here's how...

On the page with the offensive background, right click in a neutral spot and choose "View Background Image". That will load the background image into its own tab thus exposing the URL. Copy the URL. Call up AdBlocker. Under the "Filter" menu, select "add Filter". Paste the background image's URL and apply/save whatever they call it ;). Reload the offending web page and voila! This is my new favorite trick!

THANK YOU. Geez, it never occured to me to bring up the background image separately. D'oh!
