Hello, Is there a way to block images on Firefox for desktop computers? I noticed that on Firefox for mobile there is a Data Saver in the Advanced section of the settings menu that blocks images.

You can disable images on the about:config page :

Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter (accept the risk, if asked) Type in the search bar : permissions.default.image and set its value to 2

Then close and restart Firefox.

Note : If you want to disable the loading of images per site : Click on the Page Info icon (little i in a circle at the left end of the address bar) - click on the little black arrow, then on 'More Information'. Under the Permissions tab, scroll down to 'Load images' - uncheck 'Use Default' and check 'Block'.
