When doing a google search, I see no thumbnail images for things like youtube video's or an image that would typically come from authority site. Is there a setting in FireFox that is inhibiting this?

Compared to IE or Chrome which does shows a little image in Google search results.

Try disabling Addons Engine and restarting Firefox

1. Click Tools menu 2. Select Add-ons 3. Select Extensions on left side panel if not selected already 4. Click disable button for the Extension called Addons Engine 5. Close Firfox 6. Re-open Firefox 7. Test with a search on googles images, play store and/or videos pages

NOTE: This should also fix the more\/ drop down arrow at top of googles pages instead of it being a button
