I want to know how to stop FF loading ONLY a particular image (while image download is still happening) on a webpage without affecting the other images downloading.This is because during the downloading preview I might realise that the image is not what I wanted and I can stop it loading and thereby save myself some precious bandwidth.Heartfelt thanks in advance to all who reply to my question.

Right-click on the image you want to stop loading, click on Inspect Element, wait a few second. A panel is displayed below.

A line starting with <img should be highlighted. By hovering this line, the image is showed as selected (see attached screenshot).

Right-click on this line and click on Delete Node. That's it!
