    GIS - Restore Image View


    After switching to Cyberfox from Pale Moon, my GIS results look like Image 1 (bottom)

    It used to work like Image 2 (on top), which I vastly prefer:

    I have looked through GIS settings and asked questions at the Cyberfox forum with no luck. Any suggestions?

    Okay as far as I can work out it's nothing to do with Cyberfox. I'm reading that Google is experimenting with removing left panel search options.

    You can try this search query:

    Script:
    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cyberfox&hl=en&safe=off&tbas=0&tbm=isch&tbs=qdr:w&ei=M8SXWJhY7IToBMi9kvAI 
    Or you can get similar options in Cyberfox by installing the search plugin here:

    Mycroft Project: Google Image Search Engine Plugins - Firefox IE Chrome

    Get this one:

    GIS - Restore Image View-gis-restore-image-view.jpg

    Then it adds a toolbar with dropdown filters.

    You'll need the search bar enabled.

    I was going to suggest asking at Cyberfox Forum but I see that you already did:

    Google Image Search - 8pecxstudios Support Forums

    Just out of interest here's screenshots from different browsers but using the same search query.

    Opera (Presto version)

    Airfox (old version before they moved cache location)

    Firefox Portable (old version)

    Hold on. I've got this the wrong way round. You don't want the left pane results. I've been looking at how to get them to display!

    Anyway for me Cyberfox works like this and I'm using the latest version.

    Okay with cache cleared and javascript disabled it looks like this:

    Type about:support into the address bar and press Enter. Copy the results and paste here.

    Yeah, it's weird. I tried it in chrome and it worked the way I like it to. I'm used to Firefox (or one of its variants) and really don't want to start over with all my plugins, etc. I've attached the about:support results.

    Near as I can tell it may have something to do with Java.

    Thanks for the profile info. I don't think Java is the issue. I don't have Java installed but I can get Google Image search to display in different ways.

    I notice that your Cyberfox isn't the latest version.

    Suggest: Backup profile to include bookmarks and extensions. Use a directory outside of appdata for the backup.

    FEBE Firefox Extension - this works with Cyberfox.

    See: a problem with firefox

    But that's for Firefox. For Cyberfox you'll have to check for and delete everything here:

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\8pecxstudios

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\8pecxstudios

    C:\Program Files\Cyberfox

    Then once removed reboot and download the latest version of Cyberfox and do a fresh install.

    Test Google Image Search. If it works install the FEBE add on and use it to restore your bookmarks and extensions.

    Just had another thought. What happens if you reset page zoom with window maximized?

    Or you can click inside the window and use [Ctrl+] and {Ctrl -]

    Or Ctrl and spin the mouse wheel if you use a mouse.

    Thanks for the advice. I thought your comment about the profile seemed promising so I tried the portable version and it worked fine. I then cleaned out my profile, uninstalled everything, reinstalled, used FEBE to restore everything and guess what? It worked fine again.

    ...but...

    After restarting Cyberfox once everything was set up it crapped out again. Restarting with Add-Ons disabled did not help. This has got me scratching my head.
