Images only show in safe mode, even if all add-ons are disabled in normal mode.

So I get this same problem whether I enable or disable the Adblock Plus and Session Manager add-ons - SOME images do not display unless I start Firefox in safe mode. An example is the captcha images on this site:

I have no exceptions to sites automatically loading images, JavaScript is enabled, and I am otherwise at a loss for what could be causing this (unless disabling an add-on doesn't really disable it).

Do you see those images in Tools > Page Info > Media?

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.

  • You can inspect and manage all permissions on the about:permissions page, via the location bar.
  • Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
  • Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
  • Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
  • Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down 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. Make sure that you do not block third-party images permissions.default.images

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
