You MUST CLOSE Firefox or the file will not update.

Find "customizegoogle.jar"
In "\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\60esbr6h.default\extensions\{fce36c1e-58d8-498a-b2a5-66ad1cedebbb}\chrome\"

Open the file with Winrar.
Find "javascript.js"
In customizegoogle.jar\content\customizegoogle\

Drag and drop the "javascript.js" file to your desktop
Edit "javascript.js" with notepad or similar.

change:
var googFonts = selectAllNodes(document, document.body, "//FONT[contains(@color,'#008000')]");
to:
var googFonts = selectAllNodes(document, document.body, "//div[@id='ImgContent']/table/tbody/tr/td[starts-with(@id, 'tDataText')]/font/span");

Save the file.

Drag and drop the "javascript.js" file back into the Winrar window.
Winrar will show a small window, click OK.

Open Firefox and try a image search, It worked for me :)

This is a really great add-on, full marks to the developer. Unfortunatly google changed and now "link direct to images" now not working. I triled the fixes on the CustomizeGoogle discussion page and also tried the one on this page but neither worked for me so I thought I would un-install and re-install and try again but to make matters worse the un-install feature is not working. It says the un-install will run when firefox is re-started but nothing hapens, looks like I will have to re-install firefox (pain because of my other add ons, passwords ect....)

(firefox 2.0.0.13, CustomizeGoogle 0.76, XP SP2)

This is by far one of the best add-ons that I have, but it doesn't work, as many people have pointed out. If anyone has the corrected .xpi, I would much appreciate an e-mail to PricelineNegotiator5@gmail.com.
-Thanks

Waiting for the CustomizeGoogle 0.76 update ? Try the GreaseMonkey script: Google Fx v2.1.3

Would be nice if the author would update this extension. It used to be one of my favorites.

I'd like to see an update too, other than that it's a great extension.

Seems to have lost the ability to 'eat' the ads on Google's home page. Otherwise, quite good.

Needs to be updated. It is great when it works as expected.

I used to like this extension a lot but right now there are a lot of things broken. I switched to Greasemonkey scripts for https, images direct links, more options for calendar, docs, a working and updated gmail etc. No longer recommend it.

I like this extension a lot, but it really needs to be updated. The image relinking stopped working a while ago, as have the ad removal.

Disadvantages: some of the features work, but most of the ones I use don't. It did not work as I expected, especially on google mail and images.

I love this add-on! Thanks SomeOtherDude for sharing this fix - I hope the developer will fix this so others wont be hanging.

SomeOtherDude, your fix worked for me. Nicely done. Otherwise this addon is still somewhat broken. We're in desperate need of an update to what was once an invaluable addon...

So, with a little help of Firebug and some sites which deal with xpath I found a litte solution to the image problem. You have to do a little "reverse engineering" to apply this.
First you need to unpack customizegoogle.jar. You can do this either bei localizing the file on your computer after you installed the extension (I would recommend this, though it is hidden somewhere in the profile subdirectories of Firefox) or by unpacking the customizegoogle.xpi and then looking customizgoogle.jar in the chrome-subdirectory.
After you have done this, you will get a folder named content, in there you go into the folder customizegoogle and open the file javascript.js. There you replace line 31 ( var googFonts = selectAllNodes(document, document.body, "//FONT[contains(@color,'#008000'); ) with var googFonts = selectAllNodes(document, document.body, "//DIV[@id='ImgContent']//FONT[contains(@size,-1)]"); . Then you save this, pack all folders back into cusomizegoogle.jar (pack this back into the xpi-file, if you used this approach) and it should (not guaranteed) work again. I will forward this message to the developer, maybe he will fix it in the next release, too.

I really liked this add-on. but after upgrading to firefox 3.0.7 and CustomizeGoogle 0.76 i noticed this add-on stopped working. so i'm requesting developer to solve this problem.

Since the code is released under the GPL, maybe someone can pick up the pieces and update CustomizeGoogle? It was always the first add-on I installed, after AdBlock. I don't want it to disappear.
