Google Maps satellite view not displaying #116

When I have Privacy Badger enabled the Google Maps satellite view just shows as a grey background, in FireFox 29.0.1.

Disabling PB and restarting FF gets it going again. Re-enabling PB and re-starting FF kills the satellite view again.

Cheers

I'm able to switch between Earth and Map view at https://www.google.com/maps/ without issue on Firefox 29.0.1 with Privacy Badger 0.1.3. In fact, Privacy Badger reports for me "Could not detect any tracking cookies." at Google Maps (I do think that's a bit odd for Google).

In the new version of Google Maps, the terminology "Satellite" was replaced with "Earth." If yours says "Satellite," you might be stuck on the old version of Maps, and maybe that doesn't work with Privacy Badger.

According to https://support.google.com/maps/answer/3045828 if you forced the old Google Maps at some point, you should be able to switch back to the new Google Maps via https://maps.google.com/maps/about/

No it is not fixed, I still can't get to the satellite view. The comment made by macmanx2 doesn't make sense. The two links at the bottom neither helps me switch to the new version from an old reference.
