Although the steps arent very difficult (feel free to share this post ;)) Mozilla do a lot of usability testing so all I can imagine is more people prefer broken images displaying their alt tag rather than a placeholder. The only way it will ever become default is if enough people vote on it. I suppose the best way would be package it into add-on for non-techie users to install.

I've been wanting this for years and for a while there was an add-on that worked but it became incompatible at one point and was never updated. This WORKS in Fx 5.01!! I can't believe they don't have this built it, but still this works. Hooray!!! Fantastic!!!
