It works perfectly.

Sempre ottimo

Thank you.

Redirects to
https://images.google.com/images?q={searchTerms}&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls={distributionID}:{locale}:{official}
where you get: "404. That’s an error. The requested URL /images was not found on this server. That’s all we know."

Since the author didn't respond, I wrote my own extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-image-ssl/
It offers these benefits:
- enhanced privacy, because ie/oe/rls parameters (see above) are removed from URL
- updated icon, hence easier to distinguish within Firefox' search settings
- size info overlay band/stripe at each image's lower end (saves clicking Tools -> Show sizes)
- Google typically detects localization correctly on its own, hence no locale added to URL
- cleaner URL is easier to edit, if required ;)

tanckyou

great help to search images

Size option? Other tools?

This is exactly what I need. Immediately searching for a picture by keywords. No right click menu madness, just the search bar in its clean functionality.

Untrusted SSL connection warning, and if you bypass the warning you get a 404 page. Google Image Search has changed their search URL since this was made.

it's very helpful

This makes life so much easier. I no longer have to load a page just to then type a search term into it. It's a total First World problem but I live in the First World so it is a problem. Which you have fixed. Thank you.

Could you update the icon to be in line with Google's new font/design scheme?

Not working anymore.
