I have "Load Images Automatically" disabled. How can I load images for ONLY the page I am currently viewing?

I have intentionally disabled "Load Images Automatically" so that it is easier to view my desktop remotely via VNC or Remote Desktop. Animations and other graphics kill the performance of these remote viewing apps. However, when I reach a desired web page (the one I really intend to read in full), I want to load all the images ***for that page only***.

I don't think Firefox has that features. It views loading images as a permissions issues toggled on a site-by-site basis rather than a performance issue toggled on a page-by-page basis.

Maybe an add-on would give you a better balance of features? These two popped up in a quick search:

Image Block :: Add-ons for Firefox

ImgLikeOpera :: Add-ons for Firefox

If you try either of these, let us know what you think.
