Firefox won't load google image search results

Firefox won't load google search results. It will load the page of results with the thumbnails etc. but if you click any of them, just a loading spinning icon appears on the tab and it never loads.
I have tried:
Both logged in and out of google account,
All other areas of google work with no problems (news, shopping etc.),
Site working perfectly in Internet Explorer,
Running firefox in safemode,
Manually disabling all plugins and addons,
Clearing the cache and cookies,
Opening results in new tab just results in white page with web address but it never loads,
Restarting both my PC and router.
It's not been working for at least the past 6 hours. Last time I used it was about a week ago and it was working fine then. I've not noticed any problems on any other sites this week that I can recall.

Updating firefox to version 17.0 appears to have solved this.

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • Firefox won't load check images from my online bank.

    Firefox won't load check images from my online bank. It had been doing so with no problems, but stopped 2 days ago. I can get into my account and navigate with no problems. But when I click to see the image of a check, I get a blank page.
    I am using Firefox 3.6, but I have the same problem on my laptop with Firefox 4
    It works fine with Safari and Internet Explorer.

    If you can't open them in Firefox anymore (you seem to have a plugin: View PDF documents within your web browser) then download the documents to the desktop and open them with a program that can open PDF files.
    See also to be sure that that plugin is still selected:

  • Safari won't load pages from search results

    Weird problem.  Using Safari 8.0.3, I do a search using www.google.com or just search in the address bar.  Google returns the results, no problem.  However, if I try to follow a link by clicking on it, Safari will seemingly try to load it for a while, then I'll get a failed to open page error with Safari saying it can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.  It can be reliable sites like amazon or yelp or others.   If I try the exact same thing in Chrome, no issues.
    Anyone seen anything like this?  Frustrating as I'm going to have to stop using Safari until I get this figured out.  Btw, I don't have any traces of a virus or anything as I don't have ads popping up or anything like that.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    There have been a few posts about this today, it appears to be due to problems with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System DNS servers] that you are using either not directing to or blocking Google.
    You can change the DNS servers from those that your ISP uses to one of the free DNS servers. One option is to use the OpenDNS servers, for details see http://www.opendns.com/
    Another DNS service you can try is the Google Public DNS servers which are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

  • Censored Google image search results

    Wanted to sketch a little nude yesterday and happily I opened the Google search in order to get som references.
    So i entered "nude" in the search field.....but got no hits....
    Ehhh, this cant be right, right ?
    Tried the real Google just to be sure.
    Loooots of nudes there.
    So tried again in Touch.
    Nothing.
    Tried "nud" and got some hits.
    What the heck...
    Is there some kind of filtering of search words or?

  • Firefox won't load/show images on some websites with Disconnect add-on enabled

    I've been having trouble with Firefox not loading images on some websites. I tried clearing my cache/cookies, checking permissions disabling the AdBlocker add-on but nothing worked. I've attached a screen shot of the page info for one of the pictures that didn't load. Something was changing the picture's file type to 'text/html.'
    I finally gave up and reset Firefox and that solved the problem. I began slowly adding back my previous add-ons and found that the Disconnect add-on was the cause. I've seen this issue discussed here and on other support websites as well as Bugzilla so I just wanted to offer up my solution in case anyone is having the same issue and can't pinpoint the origin.

    I also wanted to know if anyone has any alternatives to Disconnect that don't cause this to happen.
    ETA: I've replaced it with Ghostery and that looks be working great without blocking any pictures.

  • Safari 6 "Images" search results don't show digital storage size info anymore - Fix?

    I've now noticed, finally using Safari 6 more often now .... that when doing a google subject search (and selecting the "images" results versus the "search" results at the top header bar of Safari), that Safari 6 now only shows a huge listing the images themselves. If you slide your cursor over any of the images, a small black highlight bar appears under the image and shows its pixel dimensions  (as in 000 x 000 pixel dimentional size), but Safari 6 shows no digital size info of the image in kb's (kilobites) or posibly MB's (megebites) .... like it used to in the past.
    On previous Safari google "image" search results you saw the images, along with their pixel dimentional size (000 x 000) and their storage size ( 00kb / 00MB) listed in small text under the image.
    Is there any way to set Safari to show not only the "images" dimensions (which it now does), but also to show the images over all storge size?
    I know if you use the additional "search tools" selection text, that a sub set of selector menus appears, listing "any size", "any color", Any type" Any time" All results" .... but none of these will set "images" storage sizes (kb, MB, etc.).  Even using a "larger size" only selection setting doesn't always guarantee that a larger size only seach results will be of larger pixel quality.
    I often use Safari and google to find "comp" art images, etc. for rough art placement on projects, and it's now almost impossible to search through Safari's google "images" results without knowing what "quality size" the image can be found at.
    Any thoughts on this fix?

    Actually, as I forgot to mention .... is this above issue a Safari 6 or Google search result issue? I'm starting to think that it may be Google's "images" results that don't show the images storage size anymore, and possibly not Safari's problem.
    Either way, is there any fix to this issue ... a plug-in, etc.?

  • 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.

  • After upgrading 3.6.7, in "google image search" all the results appears in one page, I just need to go back to the previous way of search : page after page.......??

    After upgrading 3.6.7, in "google image search" all the results appears in one page, I just need to go back to the previous way of search : page after page.......??
    where can I adjust this option ?? I tried in IE, the search way is normal as in past..
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I believe this to be a browser issue, not a google search results issue, and here is why:
    having updated Firefox only yesterday, I visited google images searching for pancakes.... interestingly, I have the NEW image results (yuck) on Firefox 3.6.8, I have the OLD image results on IE8 and Opera 10.53.
    When I use the 'switch to basic version' in Firefox 3.6.8, indeed it DOES revert to the new format next time I image search (in Firefox).
    For those of us who prefer the OLD image results page, I guess we will just have to switch browsers for google image search.
    Now I'm off to research how to get rid of the UGLY FFox sidebar.

  • Safari & Firefox: Won't load pages with images

    Everything was working fine one night, and then the next, I couldn't load any pages with graphics. The one caveat: Google loads without a problem, even a Google image search. Every other site, including Apple.com, either won't load at all, or will begin to load until it encounters and image, and then hangs. Thoughts?
    I've seen similar posts, but none of them really apply, and the only one that did, didn't have an answer.

    Every other site, including Apple.com, either won't load at all, or will begin to load until it encounters and image, and then hangs.
    You're saying that, in addition to images not loading, pages are loading slowly or not at all, as well?
    If this is the case, then the problem isn't isolated to images. It sounds more like a problem accessing web pages altogether.
    As a troubleshooting measure, try setting fixed DNS addresses, either in your router's configuration or in System Preferences -> Network. For the latter, click on the network connection that you use, e.g. "Airport" or "Ethernet," then click on the Configure button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and enter a pair of fixed DNS addresses in the section with that label, as follows:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    You can copy and paste those directly from this forum into that DNS address field.
    (Those are OpenDNS addresses, available for use by anyone. DNS addresses are the addresses of servers that tell your web browser where to look when you type a web page address in your web browser.)
    If that doesn't work, the problem lies somewhere else. But your symptoms (slow or no page loads; and even when pages load, images not loading) sound a lot like the DNS problems I had before I started using alternate DNS addresses.
