I frequently change the permissions.default.image attribute in firefox to improve the load time of pages. After upgrading to version 72 changing this value no longer works. Images will always load regardless of changing the value from 1 to 2.

Setting extensions.contentblocker.enabled to true seems to fix the issue.

Hope this helps.

Changing the pref should give you the checkbox in "Tools -> Page Info -> Media" to block images for specific domains (hosts).
