I checked in a change to the way images and ALT text are handled. You will probably notice that there is a (clipped) smiley face while images are being loaded, and if you have broken images (or impage loading blocked) then you will see that the size of the image is preserved and that the ALT text is displayed inside of a box the size of the image (Quirks Mode only, images with width and height only).
* First, the smileys are temporary - I will be putting the real icons in RSN (as soon as I figure out the JAR madness). (bug 108799)
* Second, if you liked the way we hadnled ALT text before better, you can disable the preservation of the image size for the ALT text with a pref:
pref("browser.display.force_inline_alttext", false); // true = force ALT text for missing images to be layed out inline
* Third, we no longer look at the TITLE attribute in generating the ALT text. If there is no ALT text supplied in the ALT attribute, none is shown.
* Lastly, there was a bit of contention on this, if you are interested in the arguments please see bugzilla bugs 102281 and for background, bug 41924 (and all its dependents)
