I recently joined an advertiser that uses a 1 pixel x 1 pixel image to track it's advertisement views. I have no problem with this, a 1x1 image isn't hurting my download time. 
This 1x1 image lies in an outside source from my computer however and so whenever I load a page that contains this 1x1 image, I must click the red stop button on the toolbar to prevent my computer from signing me online. Worse, I have this advertisement at the top of EVERY PAGE! See how this could get to be frustrating! 
In Internet Explorer, there is an option to "Work Offline" so that things like this won't happen. I was wondering if there was some function like this in FP so that I didn't have to click the red stop button every time I open a page for editing.
I also noticed that FP runs VERY slow now and it slows down my computer. This started happening when I put up the advertisement. I don't know if it is coincidental or if it is in fact related to the 1x1 image, but either way, does anyone have an idea of what is happening?
And just FYI, this is happening to racquetballx.com and the advertisement is in text at the top of the page. The 1x1 image is directly after the line of text linking to TheSportsAuthority.com, you can also take a look at my source code to confirm this.
