Block Image blocks all images from server; Blackout lists are not fine grained enough

Details
When you right click on an image, one of your choices is "block this
image from loading." That's a wonderful feature. However, it doesn't
just block _this_ image, it blocks every image requested from that
particular web server. That is often what you actually want (e.g.
to get rid of banner ads) but not always.
At the very least the menu text should be changed so it reflects what
actually happens. Ideally, there would be separate choices: block just
this image, block all images from this server.
The "don't allow removed cookies to be reaccepted" interface (prefs->advanced
->cookies->view cookies) has the same granularity problem. The interface
makes you think it's just this one cookie that won't come back, but the
browser actually starts refusing all cookies from that site. Again, this
is often what you want, but not always. And the user interface should
correctly describe what happens.

See also bug 33576, but I think there is also a bug somewhere specifically
covering the menu item wording.

I think the best solution would be to add a dialog. The dialog could either
let you choose between "block image", "block image from domain", or "cancel",
or it could have a textbox with the entire image url in it (the user would then
remove all but the domain to block all images from the domain).

Found it. The poor feature is covered by bug 33576; the poor menu item wording
for the current feature is covered by bug 33724.
