I have verified this enhancement using the latest Firefox Nightly 144.0a1 (Build ID: 20250905010130) build on Windows 10 x64, macOS 15.5, and Ubuntu 24.04.1.
After following the testing steps outlined in the Test Plan, I can confirm that thumbnails, favicons, and banner images behave as expected. Images are not broken, they load correctly on scroll, and favicons and banners display properly. For all sections except "Popular Today", image requests are redirected through moz-cached-ohttp:// and the images are not opened in a new tab. In the "Popular Today" section, images open directly and are not redirected.
