CPU maxing out with Google Image search, some other websites

When I try to use Google Image search or load SBNation website articles, Firefox's CPU usage maxes out and it becomes unresponsive for a good 10 seconds before it has loaded everything. This is a new problem that has popped up within the last few weeks.
I've tried disabling all addons and plugins, removing cookies, clearing cache, downgrading from the beta version to 23 and none seem to make any difference.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Help with removing images from Google image searches with Dreamweaver

I made a sight in dreamweaver, and need to remove a page from that website with some old images. So I removed the link and moved the webpage from the root folder. And If I go into dreamweaver the page is blank showing the image has been removed.
But the images are still showing up in google image searches even though I removed them in dreamweaver and re-uploaded the sight successfully. How do I remove them form the internet completely so they no longer show up in google images??

Google Image Search Results

Hey, I'm trying to get started pulling google image search
results into a flash document so that I can start animating them
with actionscript. Does anyone know of a good tutorial or sample
for this? I'm working on it by just diving into the code, but the
javascript and the google api are a little over my head. thanks.
I'm working in as 2.0

Hi cwallentin,
Thank you for your patience. I did some checking and this is what I’ve found out. The Google search capabilities built into the app use the native Google strict filtering for legal reasons and to maintain the app content rating “Everyone”. This in combination with only showing images marked as available for “commercial reuse” will limit your results with certain searches.

I don't have access to Google Images Search since I installed the latest update for https everywhere (today)

I have installed the https everywhere add-on a while ago.
Since I've done this I've never been able to click on images each time I was doing a Google search from their first page of results ("search everything"), but I could still find images by going directly to Google Images search.
Since I installed the latest update for https everywhere this morning, I simply cannot search a single image with Google, which is a problem as I'm a professional art historian.
I get the message"Your search - rembrandt - could not be completed with the requested search options. Reset search tools".
But resetting the search tools don't change anything. I'm working on a Mac, if it helps.

I had the same problem although it was a previous update rather than this one that caused the problem. Just hadn't got round to doing something about it - was using Bing images instead.
I searched for some answers this morning and seemed like most suggestions were a nuisance to try. Couldn't find 'Preferences button of HTTPS-Everywhere' as suggested above. Decided to check if No Script was blocking it. Sure enough. So problem is solved.
Thought I'd put it out there in case it helps someone else. Appreciate that people are so helpful on here.

Google image search liked navigation script

Hi!
I'm looking for navigation script that would do something like in Google image search, that you can either use side scroll bar to scroll down the thumbnail page, or use mouse wheel for scroll up down.
The part that open up extended menu with enlarged thumbnail after clicking on a thumbnail isn't really necessary at this point, but if script come with it that be really amazing.
Is there script like that out there?
Thanks in advanced.

This is a script I found, it's a scroll bar script. What I'm thinking is somehow to use mouse wheel to move ScrollDragger and trigger scrollDraggerPress.
I wonder if there is a listener that detect scrollDragger move to a new position and so it call scrollDraggerPress.
Or if there better option for me, please let me know too. thank you

    // Cache the TextField as a bitmap to improve performance.

Low resolution of Google Image Search results in Firefox Android

I'm new to Android, and I've noticed that Firefox brings up lower resolution Google Image search results in comparison to the same image search on Chrome for Android. When I click on an image result in Firefox it gives me the option of going through a low resolution slide show of all the image results, or clicking to see a single full size image. But that takes me out of the slide show, and then I have to backtrack to continue on with the low resolution slide show.
Chrome allows you to see the full resolution images within a slide show, allowing you to swipe from one full res image to the next.
Is there a way to get a slide show of the full size image results in Firefox Android without having to jump through all the hoops to see the full size images?
So far this is the only drawback I've seen with Firefox Android. I would much rather use it vs. Chrome because of Firefox's ability to use plug ins, especially adblock plus.

Perhaps I didn't write my post clearly enough. A Google image search on Chrome produces image results (via slideshow) of superior quality than an identical slideshow on Firefox. Your answer implies that Google sends higher resolution images to Chrome than it does to Firefox. I find that hard to believe.
Chrome apparently renders its Google image search slideshows using full size images, while Firefox does not. Rather than providing the full size images within a slideshow, Firefox seems to use lower resolution thumbnails, then forces you to click on a "Full-size image" button for each image that you want to see clearly. I was hoping there was a way around that.
My original question was if there was a way to increase the quality of the slideshow results in Firefox so you don't have to click on the image to open it up at full res., then backtrack to get back into the slideshow, then do the same thing all over again for each and every image you want to see clearly in full size. On Firefox you have to do all these extra steps that you don't have to do in Chrome. So, based on the answers so far I guess I guess that's just the way it is and there's no way around it.

Google Image Search Does Not Load, Among Other Websites

I think this problem started a little bit after I upgraded to Leopard. I thought it was a problem with the wireless network I was using, but that wasn't it. I connected directly to my modem via ethernet cable, but to no avail. The problem also persists when I connect to my own home network through the Airport Extreme.
My Google Image Search usually yields such results:
http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture1qs8.png
Another webpage that I cannot load is deviantART. Sometimes I can get through with NoScript on, but even so the website layout doesn't load correctly.
Pages that don't even load and result in a timeout are manga.clone-army.org and megatokyo.com.
I can access these sites through a tunnel. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.16, but Safari is not able to load these pages either. I know that other computers, both Mac and PC are able to load the pages I cannot.
Any help?

Here's some tweaks that should speed up Firefox for you:
Type about:config into firefox's address bar, hit return you will see all the current settings
Scroll down to "network.http.pipelining" then ctrl-click on it and select "Toggle" to make it True
Scroll down to "network.http.proxy.pipelining" then ctrl-click on it and select "Toggle" to make it True
Scroll down to “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” then ctrl-click on it and select Modify and enter 30
Then you need to add in a variable to the list, ctrl-click and select "New Integer". A menu will popup asking for you to enter the name of this integer. Enter "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
Close the config window and try loading the problem URL again.

Replace Nuance Voice Commands with Google Voice Search

I would like to replace the Nuance Voice Commands with Google Voice Search when i press the call button on my bluetooth stereo headset.
I do not see a way to uninstall the Nuance Voice Commands...
I do not see a way to configure the phoe so that it uses Google Voice Search instead of Nuance Voice Commands...
Factory reset defaults the phone to Nuance Voice Commands...
I would like to press the call button on my stereo headset and have more voice commands than the Nuance app provides. Has anybody found a way to change this behavior without special access?
Sorry my phone is stock and no special access...

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I just tested it here and i get the same result as you but i'm swedish as well.
Not sure if this has to do with how Google Maps behaves in different countries but a Google search is made when you say a voice command that's not recognized by any of the apps you have for the watch. There's a discussion about the "Navigate to" not working here and it seems Google is looking into it.
What i've also noticed myself is that some apps actually give wrong information about which voice command you should use so sometimes you have to try another phrase than the exact one the app is telling you to use.

How do I let Google Image Search find my images and movie clips on my site?

My website, hosted on .mac, has images (I'm just starting to add short movie clips) of my sculptures. If I do a Google Image Search of my name (david l phelps) or the name of the sculpture (for instance "pastoral dreamer") the search results show other sites that have my work on them, but not my site. I have no idea how to process the images (or movies) so Google can index them from my site.
If anyone knows how to do this, or knows other forums or resources I can find this information please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.

You might need to add titles to your images post-processing.
Search for
alt=""
Replace with
alt="description or title of image"
On my husband's photography bus. site I put keywords for our site in the alt tags, not specific titles for each image, so I can just do them all at once with MassReplaceIt.

Google Images Search Is HiJacked

Recently, my Google Images search function began redirecting me to retail purchase sites when I click an image. The function finds images, but instead of redirecting to the associated image page (when I click on a specific image), it instead routes me to a "related" merchandise site. So, something is "thinking" here, because it closely matches the image category I choose and routes me to a different, but specific same-type site to buy something.
Here's the kicker. I'm on a Mac. Until now, I only ever experienced this on my PC and would use the usual Malware scrubbers to clean everything out.
Does this ring a bell to anyone?
Thanks!

Zackpm, thank you for responding. Sorry it took a couple of days to respond back.
I get various re directs. They are different almost every time with different searches, but once in a particular search say, "basketball uniforms" then the re direct is the same site no matter which uniform picture I click.
Here's the most recent re direct when I was searching for trophy plaque sample pics. Additionally, here is the web site link:
http://www.rivasearchpage.com/?q=&aid=810&n=5
Very frustrating, as this is happening almost every search I do.

IWeb images not showing on google image search

I've created an iWeb website but can't find any of my images on google image search, although the site appears on web search. I've created new sitemaps 4 days ago, tagged the images with iWeb SEO... I've made two separate pages of images only, not the photo album pages which I think are difficult to search / tag.
Does anyone know how long it takes Google image search to list your images. It already has listed my website on web / text search for sometime.

Mia12 wrote:
...the site appears on web search.
Do sub-pages of your site appear? I'm wondering whether your images aren't being found because the sub-pages in which they reside are not being found...
One of the biggest problems with iWeb is the way it creates your navigation bars. Instead of using standard HTML which search engines can use to correctly find all files on your website, it uses Javascript which makes it extremely hard for search engines to scan and index your website properly.

Do you otherwise have problems with the mouse in Firefox?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Google image search brings up wrong image

when I do a search with google image when an image is selected the image 4 or 5 before is displayed. Does not happen with chrome.

hi rlampman:
I tried to reproduce your problem on my Google Nexus 4 running Jellybean with Firefox 22 for Android but couldn't.
Here's what I did:
# www.google.com, tapped on "Images"
# searched for 'roland' just for fun :-)
# tapped on the fourth image
What happend:
# the fourth image was correctly displayed
What exact set of steps did you do and what happened? And what version of Android and Firefox are you using?
Cheers!

Images not loading.. blue question mark(myspace and on google image search)

not all images but the majority are not showing. Iv tried deleting everything possible to try and make it work. Its the same with other browsers as well. do i need a plug-in to get it to work.

If you're talking about Anomaly Industries Google Image search, I've had no success with it with my notebook or desktop, Tiger or Leopard. A shame, because it was the most (only?) useful widget I'd discovered. The others give you a page of images. This one could bypass all the advertising and provide a bountiful collection of individual slides. I have a hunch that the program has been "neutralized"--Google would be the most likely suspect.
