Firefox blocking photo content in my emails even though set privacy to allow, I am receiving many links in emails instead of photos.

Started this week. Instead of getting photos/pictures inline in Thunderbird emails , I am getting links for each photo. e.g. I get newspapers and articles are all links. I have to click on links to go to Firefox to view. Very time consuming. I have set privacy to allow remote content.

Phew!, thank you. It was driving me bonkers and taking so much extra time to review my emails (very many). I was thinking that it may have been the latest update. I am most grateful for your quick response.
