Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe for Images you  
have to control-click (right-click) and "Load Image" from the popup  
contextual menu. Flash plugins that you may have blocked seem to load  
after being clicked regularly.

Another (intentional, I believe?) change to ad blocking seems to be  
that images/plugins you click on to load are Not automatically added  
to your whitelist. It's nice to be able to click to load without  
having to crawl back into preferences and clean out my whitelist  
every few days.
