I go to : Tools, options, content. it has on top: Load images automatically . it has a button: exceptions. I enter a web site there so it will NOT load images automatically- does NOT work. OR I un-click the load images automatically which makes ALL websites not load images. I then go to exceptions and put a website so it WILL load images from that specific web site - does NOT work. When I put the website in exceptions it goes/gets saved to the list of exceptions- but firefox ignores it and does not make an exception for that website. (Also mostly after sometime that I close firefox the list would get cleared by itself)

You need to make an exception for the server that stores the images. Some websites store their images on a separate server for load balancing or other reasons. You can check the images in Tools > Page Info > Media to see which sites you need to unlock.
