All my images in all Firefox pages have disappeared. You used to have a button that you could check off to load all images automatically. But its not there in this version on Firefox V24. Worse when this computer a laptop,sync with my desktop computer all images disappeared there as well How do I get them back, and don't tell me I have to give permissions for each page, as I tried that and it didn't work either.

The setting is a little harder to access now, but here's how you do it:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste perm and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If permissions.default.image is bolded ("user set") or for some other reason not set to the default value of 1, right-click it and choose Reset.

To confirm that this worked, you can switch back to the other tab and reload. Success?

There's still the question of how it got changed...

If the images were blocked by one of your add-ons, it may happen again, and it would be worth reviewing their various settings dialogs. You can check whether they have Options buttons here:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

The check boxes to enable/disable JavaScript and load images automatically have been removed from "Options > Content".
