images not loading
For several days now, most websites the images don't load. Ive done all the normal things (clear cache, reload website, troubleshooting, whatever) and the issue persists. Seems like this is an issue that happens with firefox every other year for several months then some developer finally realizes there is a problem and they manage to fix it. How about NOT BREAKING IT TO BEGIN WITH. Anyway, is there anything at all I can do to fix the extremely annoying issue other than dumping firefox once and for all?

I have never experienced anything like this. Can you enter about:profiles, create a new profile and test it with default setup?
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for messages about blocked content.

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about blocked content and about the presence of mixed or unsafe content.
You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.
If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.
