I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, Firefox 17, and NoScript 2.6.1 on a virtual machine. The problem remains even with NoScript set to allow all scripts. I've tinkered with the settings, clearing the cache and restarting Firefox after each new setting, and still the problem remains.
So let me be more precise as to the functionality of the Google Image Search results page. On a Google image search results page, and with NoScript disabled, upon clicking the "Search tools" button there is what looks to be a frame that slides down beneath the frame that contains the "Web", "Images", "Shopping", "More", "Search tools", and "SafeSearch" buttons. Clicking the "Search tools" button again hides that frame by making it slide back up. In that sliding frame are filter options for images that include small, medium, large, and larger than.
I am in New York City. Google has only just started to roll out their new layout for their Image Search results page, so perhaps it hasn't propagated completely yet.
Here's another clue: I ran a search at DuckDuckGo.com. Then I clicked the little down-arrow just to the right of the magnifying glass on the search bar. From there I chose "Images - Google (!gi)". Doing that takes me to the Google Image Search results page WITH THAT SLIDING FRAME ALREADY SLID DOWN AND FUNCTIONING, but the "Search tools" button will not make the frame slide back up! Surely someone with a keen knowledge in all things html will diagnose this problem. I hope, I hope.
