I can't think of a reason for still images to use that kind of CPU. Possibly some animated images that render as videos could do it??

I notice in your add-ons list that "ImageAssistant Batch Image Downloader" is installed but disabled. Usually, if an add-on is disabled we can rule it out as an issue, but if you can live without it for a bit, maybe completely uninstall it and see whether that makes any difference.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click "Refresh Firefox" in the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Firefox has a built-in profiler tool. I don't know how difficult it would be to capture a report on what Firefox is doing when you view those image search results, but if you want to give it a try, see:

https://profiler.firefox.com/docs/#/

After uploading a profile, you can use the link in a bug report on
