Check out the following for some workarounds

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38488

Note that this frequently breaks, and un-breaks, and re-breaks again in
the nightlies.

While junkbuster is still useful for some things (like blocking the
banners on slashdot without blocking all the other graphics), the "Block
images from this server", and Mozilla's cookie control make it a lot
less essential than it used to be. These days I have junkbuster's cookie
control turned off most of the time and just use Mozilla's cookie
functions.

cheers,
