I want to exclude some urls from Live HTTP headers (firefox add-on).
so in Config area i checked Exclude URLs With regex and put the string below in it:

.gif$|.jpg$|.ico$|.css$|.js$|.png$|.bmp$|.jpeg$|google$|bing$|alexa$

i want to remove all images from capturing and any url that contains :

. means "any char"
$ means "the end of the string"

That said:

.gif$ will match "any string ending with gif that is at least 4-char long"
google$ will match "any string ending with google"

I guess you were looking for something like:

[.](gif|jpg|ico|css|js|png|bmp|jpeg)$|\b(google|bing|alexa)\b

Maybe your regexps get autoanchored with ^ and $ by the tool you're using. In this case, use .* additionally:

.*[.](gif|jpg|ico|css|js|png|bmp|jpeg)$|.*\b(google|bing|alexa)\b.*

@MoonLight Just put the string: google. If you want to match only the word: \bgoogle\b (strings like foogooglebar won't match then). Maybe the tool you're using autoanchors the regex with ^ and $, see my edit.
