I've now done a fresh build on 9.0 and have a lot more installed,
including seahorse and also gnome-keyring (although I think at
least the latter of that pair is only used for storing passwords,
no ?)

No change to https, so I only briefly tested re images, but at
theregister only the first image (for the 'top' story) appears.

Oddly, https://www.bing.com does not give me any grief about the
certificate.

Looking around, past reports online (probably now quite old) have
mentioned glib-openssl which we don't use.

For the images, it might be a jpeg2000 issue although I had that
installed when I built it.  Anyway, giving up on this for the
moment.

And on a build with more gnoem packages it still showns the 'Blank
Page' option as selected, and continues to show recent sites on a
new tab.
