In the last few days (after 52.8.0 update?) the Option button has disappeared from the "Thunderbird has blocked remote content..." message bar.

Chosen solution

Hi, Attached is a screenshot of what you should see.

If you're not seeing that button, try restarting Thunderbird with add-ons disabled. Go to Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Does the problem still occur?

If the problem does not occur, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.

If the problem still occurs, we'll need some more info about your Thunderbird setup. Go to [=] > Help > Troubleshooting Information then click Copy text to Clipboard. Open a reply to this post, and go to Edit > Paste to paste the info from your Troubleshooting Information page.

Thanks. "Thunderbird Conversations" was the culprit. All back to normal now.

With Thunderbird v52.8.0, when receiving an image, I can no longer see it inline or as an attachment. I get the "remote content" warning, but whereas before an "Allow" button was available to override the warning and allowed it to display. This button is no longer present, as of 20-June.

This seemingly just started this morning, for other here as well. I generally get a number of images that are blocked and I click on the "Allow" button. My extensions are a sync tool, Birdiesync, & Lightning, my plugins are Shockwave-flash & something called futuresplash. I don't have any manual add-ons, After re-starting with "Add-ons" disabled, I (still) do not have an "Allow" button appearing to see remote content.

This occurs with Rackspace mail servers as well as with the AOL mail server. I have downloaded & re-installed (did not uninstall, that's next) T-Bird v52.8.0.

An earlier post said that if the restart did not work, to post "troubleshooting" info. Here is my info:
