Images are displaying even though "Allow remote content" is unchecked, and there are no exceptions. Why? How do I stop it?

If a URL appears on hover, it just means the image is linked to that URL, but the image can either be embedded or stored on a remote server. Look at the message source (Ctrl+U) to see if an image is embedded or remote.

You can set this for all messages by going to config editor and double-clicking this entry, changing from false to true. mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image
What config editor?
Tools>Preferences>General scroll to bottom of right pane.
Are these images actual remote content, i.e. linked to web servers, or embedded images? If the latter, select View/Message Body As, Plain Text, to not show them.
Tools>Preferences>General isn't a thing. I'm running Thunderbird 91.5.0 (64-bit) on Linux.
The images show a URL in the status bar when I hover over them.

Must be embedded! Thanks for the "plain text" tip.
