It used to work! Having made NO changes to my system / software but now, suddenly, when I type a search term in Google, I no longer get the option to show just "Images"only link on the left nav with the rest of the options like: View Videos, Books, Blogs etc. Nor the option to select what minimum size image I want to see. Works right in IE! (Shows "Images only" option) BUT I HATE IE!! PLLLLEASE HELP

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

  • "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
  • "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

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.

Not a feature that I use or see on the www.google.com page, but it looks like Google has a page for images searches only: images.google.com

The image size option is on the "Advanced Image Search" page.
