Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Am running Firefox 2.0.0.6 running on Ubuntu 7.04.

Have cleared the setting for Edit > Preferences > Load Images Automatically (it's off--not selected).

Logged in to Hotmail account. Opened email message from MSN Communities, apparently HTML format email.
In that message, clicked a link to an MSN Communities forum message.
Firefox dialog appears:
The page at http://by128w.bay.128.mail.live.com says: Attachments, pictures, and links in the message have been blocked for your safety. Would you like to unblock the content of the message? (Choices are Cancel and OK.)

First problem: Question being posed is a Yes/No question, so choices of Cancel and OK are not appropriate. This violates various industry-standard UI guidelines (See GNOME, APPLE, IBM, MICROSOFT UI Guidelines.)

Not having the No option, I clicked Cancel.

Please display an appropriate dialog box and message with the options of Yes and No, whereby the selection of either one displays the linked page. YES means to display the linked page and display the otherwise blocked content. NO means to display the message but do NOT display the blocked image, attachment, or whatever.

Second problem: The dialog closed and returned me to the originating email message.

Expected: The dialog would close and then display the linked page in the e-mail message, **while keeping the suspect images and whatnot BLOCKED.**

This will not be fixed in firefox-2.0 as it is about to reach EOS from Mozilla. Also because its not a SRU its a wishlist more than a bug but ff2 still wont see a fix.
