You could have saved a lot of time if you'd just shown me where to 
click. You keep saying everyone can use one click to show an image, but 
I can find no evidence of that.

I can find no evidence that your description of Firefox's capabilities 
is not flat-out wrong, and you are declining to provide any evidence 
whatsoever, inviting people simply to take your word for it.

If you're going to cite the capabilities of a browser as a reason not to 
do something with regards to Wikipedia, you need to show us those 
capabilities in fact exist.

Insulting? Off-topic? You're the one telling me I don't know how to use 
my browser, and you're the one that alleges the browser has capabilities 
that are better than server-side filtering. If you're not prepared to 
demonstrate these capabilities, why did you bring it up in the first place?
