Mozilla brings up a "www.domain.com could not be found, please check the
name and try again" dialog whenever it's unable to load any image on a web
page. Netscape Communicator 4.76 (and earlier) just displays a broken image
icon on the page when it can't load a graphic, and it only displays an error
dialog if I'm trying to directly access an image on a server it can't reach.
How do I change Mozilla's behavior to match Communicator's behavior?
The reason I ask is because I use Web Ad Blocking
('http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~atman/spam/adblock.shtml') so that I don't
have to load banner ad graphics over my slow modem connection. I do this by
putting a 'hosts' file on my system which maps many major ad banner sites to
127.0.0.1. Communicator quietly loads and renders a page without loading
any banner ads, but Mozilla brings up a 'could not be found' dialog for
every banner it couldn't load on the page, which is even more annoying than
the original ads themselves!
