Images dissappear when I stop loading page

Updated to the 25.0.01 version, running on Wiindows 7, I have a slow connection at home and I have been used to stopping long page loads when there are many photos/images in a post. Before my upgrade the images that had already loaded are left displayed when I hit the stop "x" in the address bar.

Now with the new version, whenever I have several images displayed and I want to stop the page from loading any more (some pages have many photos and could take 20 minutes or longer to load) I loose all the photos as soon as I hit stop. It just has blank frames with the broken image icon in the upper right corner of each image. How can I stop it from doing this? Do I need to uninstall and go back to my earlier version of Firefox?

I update because I am told it will keep my computer more secure...do I have any options to keep the images from disappearing? Thank You.

Hi danetrainer, this is to be expected if you stop loading the page. In version 27, the most up to date version also does this for images. please update to the current version of 27 and see if this makes a difference.
