When performing a search on Google I am unable to view thumbnails on the main search page. If I click on the placeholder the image will open, I am also able to view thumbnails on the images / videos results page. Firefox version 3.6.13 Running Windows 7, 32 bit professional. Addons: Adblock Plus 

                   Flashblock
                    Googlehancer (used to prevent autocomplete.)
                    Web of Trust (WOT)

All addons updated today.

Cleared cache, cleared history, cleared cookies.

Able to view results thumbnails on Bing and other search providers. Tools > Content > Load Images checked, exceptions are cleared, so all sites should be available. Tools > Content > Enable Javascript also checked.

I suspect, though cannot be sure, that something I did to disable the forced autocomplete function in Google searches also disabled the thumbnail view.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Dear Cor-el;

Thank you for your response. Changing to safe mode did not resolve the issue; this does suggest that my problems may not be originating in the addons I have installed.
