Here's what I have: @-moz-document domain(flickr.com) { img[src*="/images/spaceball.gif"] {display:none !important;} } One thing I noticed was the src wasn't the full /images/spaceball.gif. I changed it to that and I also changed the quotes. The code had quotes like this ” but I used " and it works. One of those things did it. I played around with the code a bit and now it works.
