As we know by the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar sahab (db), that the safe guarding of eyes is very necessary in every process of our daily life.
It is equally important for persons using internet and it is a major issue as most of the websites have Ads containing unwanted pictures. By following this process, we can make our web browser safe from such content.

Step 1: ImgLikeOpera allows load only the images that you want in Firefox browser.
NOTE: There is also a functionality to whitelist certain domains, then that it won’t block. Recommended behavior is to block all kind of images and then add proper websites in whitelist.
Tools -> Addons -> ImgLikeOpera -> Options -> Filters
Features:
- placeholders for blocked images
- (re)load image from context menu or Ctrl+rightMouseClick;
- forced expiration time (5 minutes - 3 months);
- policies for tabs;
- filters.

You can set one of policies for each tab:
- don’t load images;
- load cached images only;
- load images for the originating Web site only;
- load all images.
Step 2: Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape browsers that takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to download and then view the Flash content.

If anyone happens to be a user of Apple’s Safari browser, then one can use clicktoflash. It is primarily the same thing as Firefox’s FlashBlock addon.
http://clicktoflash.com - Open/free
You can also add websites into a whitelist such as khanqah.org, thus flash from khanqah.org would not be blocked automatically.
Assalaamu alaikum.
Im a regular visitor to this site….
I thought i would suggest a good program to disable/enable flash and pictures.

It is better to have the latest version of imglikeopera installed in firefox, or if someone is having trouble getting the latest version, we can force the old version of imglikeopera to work with latest firefox (usually 3.6.*).
Step 1: install the mr tech toolkit.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/421/
restart the browser
Setp 2: if you have not installed imglikeopera, then install it and check on Override Max Version Compatibility Check before clicking install.
Step 3: If you have already installed imglikeopera, then in firefox click tools - > addons and find imglikeopera, it will be saying that this addon is not compatible with firefox, right click and select make compatible, this will resolve the problem after restart.
AOA
