By using the supercool userscript compiler, I compiled the Show Missing Images Greasemonkey Script to a standalone Firefox Addon. Now there’s no need to install the greasemonkey firefox addon. Here’s a little background on the need for this addon.
Help me if you have an account on Mozilla Add-ons: Currently this addon is in the sandbox, please give a short review for this addon so that it can make it to the public site. Thanks! Here’s the link to my Firefox extension.
Features
- Display missing images regardless of ALT tags

You might want to try the greasemonkey script

This sounds like an awesome plugin, and something I REALLY want since I just switched from IE, but could you please make it compatible with FF 3? I don’t really want to install Greasemonkey because I typically have no use for those sorts of scripts.
Thanks!
Will have to wait for the compiler to be FF3 compliant
The wait is over!
Very nice addon.
Maybe you should change line #37 in your ShowMissingImages.js into…
document.images[i].src = ‘resource://gre/res/broken-image.gif’;
… which is the Firefox default broken icon.

Loved it…then hated it! Why? It was working great until I was checking out the gorgeous girls at Break.com. Their pictures would come up, then disappear, then it would go back to the icon of “Missing Image”. Disabling “Show Missing Images” caused the images to stay!
Oh yeah…I’m using Firefox 3.0.11
Hi, looks like a great add on.
Will it be FF 3.5 compatible any time soon?
I haven’t move over to FF3.5 as it seems to slow down my PC. Perhaps you can try to compile the greasemonkey script using this
Not working anymore. Any chances of update?
small adaptation to code if width OR height are set then still use these so site layout is not broken, maybe add in preferences a style for a border and background style to use. Don’t know how easy this would be, havn’t developed an add-on before. Looking at JS file would this work??
if ((document.images[i].width!=null)&&(document.images[i].height!=null)) {
document.images[i].width = ’20′;
document.images[i].height = ’20′;
}
