We can't load the image on demand here, as this would make it show up with a noticeable delay.

(I realize "an explicit non-goal" of firefox-dev is to "offer community<br>
members the chance to post until they get satisfaction about their<br>
concerns." Feel free to point me anywhere else I can take this<br>
discussion.)<br>
