Why doesn the images pref work correctly?
The images preference does work, it just had one weird quirk: it requires you to restart the page in order to see the effect. If you don’t restart the page you will get some strange behavior where the state of the images is exactly opposite that of the preference. I have no idea why this happens, but I am almost certain it is a bug in mozilla, not in my prefbar code. A few people have suggested that I have the page automatically reload when you click that pref, but I think that could have some pretty bad unwanted side effects. Plus I think users are perfectly capable of reloading the page themselves if they want to see the current page without images immediately, but most of the time I think people set that pref because they want the next page they plan to view to be loaded without images, so I won’t set prefbar to do any automatic reloading.
