I have verified this issue on Windows 8.1 x64 with latest Nightly (Build ID: 20170116030326) and latest Firefox release v50.1.0 and it is reproducible. I have followed the steps from Comment 0.

Hi,

The images from vk.com are all blocked. The remaining images are not from vk.com. So, I'm not sure the real usage for the "Block images" in "Page Info".

:Ehsan, do you know the owner for image blocking?

What you are seeing is the intended usage.  The user revokes the permission from images to be loaded from vk.com and we do just that.  We still load other images from this page, such as https://pp.userapi.com/c543103/v543103564/1a4ad/MBITbNyakug.jpg because they are loaded from other unrelated sites.  The reporter is misunderstanding how this feature is supposed to work (which arguably doesn't have the best user experience!)

> :Ehsan, do you know the owner for image blocking?

There is no owner, this feature is unowned and unchanged in the last ~10+ years.
