The Images/Permissions list under > Options seems to be always empty and I don't know how to populate > it. You can right click on an image and select "Block Images from this server." That will add the server to the Options -> Web Features -> Image Permissions List. Another option is to install the AdBlock extension. Go to Options -> Extensions -> Get New Extensions and install AdBlock. AdBlock provides a more sophisticated (regexp-based) method of blocking images which is useful for sites that rotate server names in an attempt to defeat simple "Block from this server" approaches.

The key thing that pisses me off about Firebird is that they swap the meaning of Ctrl and Alt in the URL entry field from what Mozilla uses. So Ctrl-Enter in mozilla means "open in new tab", while in Firebird it means "slap www. on the front, .com on the rear, and open that up in this window".

Depending on how involved you want to get, there are a number of places that'll sell you a Linux Virtual Server setup for about that much. Your own linux install, root access, etc. They're a fun curiosity.
