We appreciate your report but I was not able to reproduce this issue. The buttons work regardless of the version. Have you reproduced this issue without the add-on or only when creating tabs with this add-on?
Tested on:
• Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 129.0a1 (2024-06-16) / Firefox Release 127
• Operating System: Windows 10
Suggestions:
• Clear cache/data/cookies, disable Ad-blocker (if available), or create a new profile (without syncing/importing data) and check again
• If there are any changes made to the default settings of the browser (e.g. in about:config), please revert to the default settings
How to create a new profile:
- Open a new tab
- Type in the address bar "about:profiles"
- Press "Enter"
- Click on "Create a New Profile"
- Click "Next"
- Name your profile
- Click "Finish"
- Head to your newly created profile
- Click "Launch profile in new browser"
Note: You can return to your old profile at any given time by accessing "about:profiles" in the address bar

We were able to reproduce it in Troubleshoot Mode and with clean profiles as recently as two days ago.
I've just tested it again and got 3 different working versions of Google Images. It seems that Google has fixed this bug.
