You'll need "Change Images" and "Disable Or Replace Context Menus" checked. I have found the fix for blank Google maps in Firefox (courtesy of Slashdot):

If you've seen any fixes for this problem, I'd certainly be grateful to hear of them.

There's no doubt Google will step up to the plate, but for the moment they should be looking at both of these innovative web maps for an even more fluid and informative user experience. www.futurefeeder.com I think Google's implementation of satellite imagery could be expected, since the current image retrieval system is pretty much set up to access satellite image databases.

The condensed "LineDrive" map is interesting. It's probably not as useful for general use, but for finding locations in areas that you're already somewhat familiar with, it could be <em>very</em> nice, since it eliminates some of the "cruft" from the map. Pete: Good call. A "pretty print" option will definitely be a good addition. FlashBang: Hmm… The condensed “LineDrive” map is interesting.

One little map for each direction, the description, and then a couple large area maps.

Try it out. It presents a birdseye view of your entire trip, so you can take a look at one graphic, and not even have to read directions. Very nifty, and quite a missed feature by the media, IMHO.
