This seems like a feature that shouldn't go away. If you want to block images now, you have to manually enter the address of the image. I'm a little worried that other features are going to start disappearing. Is there a check-box to turn this on? I don't feel like writing an extension to correct something so minor.

That menu entry has been removed in Firefox 4 because it happened it happened a lot that people mis-clicked when saving an image. You can use "View Image Info" in the right-click context menu to block images.

That's one of the most useful features that has just been taken out. It would be greatly appreciated if one could still enable image blocking on a right-click. It's simpler than the "View Image Info" workaround.
