I had never noticed any difference at all (I've mostly stopped using IE since downloaing Mozilla), but I just ran a test search thinking it was kinda crazy that Google would give any sort of different results from different browsers.

The results for search terms chosen randomly, first two words that came to my mind "fire plane" (terms entered without quotes):

IE 5.5:
1,180 images found
URL: http://images.google.com/images?q=fire+plane&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search

Mozilla 1.2:
2090 images found
URL: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=lang_en&i e=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&safe=off&q=fire+plane&btnG=Google +Search

So, just to take the comparison a bit further I copied & pasted the URL from IE into Mozilla, where it retruned 2090 results again. Then I copied the URL from Mozilla (the one generated by searching Google with Mozilla, not the one I had just plugged into it from IE) and pasted it into IE which got 2090 images again.

That's all I've got, maybe there's enough info there for someone smarter than me to figure out wtf is causing the different results here, but I have no clue.
