Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions
See Settings for web content, pop-ups, fonts, and languages

  • A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?) on the left end of the location bar.
  • A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
  • Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
  • Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
  • If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
  • You can see the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
  • You can see all image exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions

I also accidentally clicked on Block Pictures and I am still having this problem. I went into Media tab on Page Info, found three images that were grayed out, but the Block Images From... box was unchecked, so there was nothing for me to do to and no way to ungray those three images. That did not work. I also went into Tools>Options>Content>Load Images>Exceptions. I have about 500 exceptions listed and I have no idea which one to unblock. I cannot unblock them all as some are obviously things I don't want, but Facebook is not one of the 500 listed. This is very frustrating. Which one(s) do I unblock to get my pictures back? Or any other suggestions? <email removed - c>
