the new update is not as good as the old one, I was able to view or download any image from Google without getting directed to the website but since, I've updated my firefox I've not been able to do so. Is there any way that I can downgrade my firefox? The previous version was so easy to use and this new one just sucks. You gotta help me out on this one.

Could show us more clearly what your problem is? For me, when I do a search, the first button visits the site, the second downloads the image. So it works as it should.

In the previous version, I would simply put words into google and hit the images button and then I would see so many images related to my search. Then whenever I wanted to download any image, I would just open it in the new tab. There were options like 'view image' and 'visit website' on that page. But since this new update, I've not been able to do the same. Now when I try to open any image in new window, it directly takes me the main website. I just don't want that to happen.

Are you sure it is even giving that instead of your clicking on the actual page link. That's what it sounds like your doing.

No, im pretty sure about that. I don't understand this either, that's why I'm saying that previous version was so much better than the current one. I don't know why did I ever update my old version. I'm trying to use this new version the way I used the older one to download images. Simply open the image I want into the new tab and then hit the 'view image' then I would simply save the image.

Since you aren't able to put a screen shot of what your having problems with no one is going to be able to know what is going on.
