What is the setting to DISABLE thumbnails in Google search results, or ANY search engines?
Hello,
What is the setting to DISABLE thumbnails in Google search results, or ANY search engines? I have the opposite problem of most users here LOL.
I do NOT want to see thumbnails on any search results from any search engines. The closest solution I've found on these forums from back in 2013 no longer works (see below):

Do you mean the thumbnails that you see on the about:newtab page?
You can create these Boolean prefs on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from generating thumbnails for the about:newtab page.
name: browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled with value: true name: pageThumbs.enabled with value: false
You can right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and choose New > Boolean to create both prefs as a new Boolean type pref.

You need to delete the thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove already stored web page thumbnails."
Thanks in advance for the assist! :-)

What you quoted above is about thumbnails on the Firefox Home page (about:home, about:newtab).
I'm not sure what you mean with thumbnails in Google search results. To hide content on a webpage you need a content blocking extension or use code in userContent.css, you can't do this via prefs or settings in Firefox.
