Last year Google enabled users of their search page to use images on the search

as Google said it would, and searching around their pages, I've never found a
way to do it manually.
Do I need to use FF or install Chrome, to use that feature? I hope not... I'd
really like to use it and would appreciate any advice. TIA....

This was working wonderfully for me, and then disappeared,
as did the option to (re-)instate it. All I got was a horrible
blue smear pointing at "Web". Having spent some time tracking
down the cause, I find that it is because I have disabled the
option (Advanced / HTTP Networking / Advertise Firefox compatibility).
As I do not wish to falsely claim that I am using Firefox, I have
installed the "PrefBar" add-on and added the UA string :
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20110902; Firefox/6.0.2
compatible; SeaMonkey/2.3.3"
(i.e., the default UA string with the addition of the word "compatible" and
some semi-colons).
I would /prefer/ not to have to use an add-on to accomplish this. Is there
an "about:config" setting (or similar) that will allow me to modify the
default User Agent string directly ?

Philip, rather than "about:config" you can
Edit->Preferences->Advanced->HTTP Networking and then under User Agent
String, tick the box for "Advertise Firefox compatibility".
