Firefox ios v 18.1 (15719) Hide Images is broken since last update

Since the ios update on the 17th July 2019, the Hide Images option does not work. Firefox ios v 18.1 (15719)

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Start FF
2. Settings -> enable Hide Images
3. Open any website.
4. All images are loaded and displayed
5. Settings -> Toggle Hide Images : Result Images are hidden.
6. Open new tab with Hide Images enabled -> Images are loaded and displayed.

In other words, I have to load a site with images first before I can hide the images, which defeats the purpose. Before the update I could open sites with Hide Images enabled and the images did not display ( and I hope were not downloaded).

and I've stopped surfing, because I only used Firefox because I have a 500Mb mobile data plan per month.
