google image search doesn't work

This is an issue I've had with Firefox for quite a while, and so I've been using different browsers to do reverse image searches. I'm fed up enough to try to fix it, though.

When I go to google image search on Firefox, I get this:

The exact same url on Edge displays this:

You'll note that it doesn't have the black strip across the top, and it does have the little camera icon. Nothing in Firefox will make the camera icon appear.

The most likely culprit seems to be an add-on, so I restart Firefox in safe mode, with all customisation disabled. The same url gets me this:

If I click on the "Search Images" button, I finally get a camera, which allows me to search for a picture:

When I hit "the "Search By Image" button, however, the search results show up as this:

This is also the screen I get if I try to search directly by right-clicking on an image and using the option the "google Image Search" add-on adds to the context-menu.

So it's apparently something to do with Firefox, rather than any add-ons or customisation. Or otherwise something to do with something that Safe Mode doesn't disable, although I believe it disables everything.

It works fine on Edge, on Chrome and, before I got a new computer with a new OS, Internet Explorer. Any ideas?
