Yes, but this available only to satellite view, not Earth.

The problem is likely with the plugin. Since I don't have the plugin installed I can't test off-hand, but the aerial view works just fine in the new google maps that your image is a screenshot of:

You can see if it's the plugin by disabling it in the add-on manager. If that fixes the issue, then it's a problem with the plugin and you may have to look at its settings.

Google Earth is a Plug-in and it's doesn't have any settings. Earth looks like this http://s20.postimg.org/rku1lbrfx/screenshot_11.png , in IE works perfectly.
Btw. in Palemoon 24.7.1 this works too (there is a video which I recorded in Palemoon 24.7.1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh8eoZpmznw ) .

OK, 2 things here:
  • IE plugins and Pale Moon plugins are completely different and totally unrelated.
  • Plugin compatibility has not changed between 24.7.1 and 25.1.0. So if it worked before, it should still work now, as well.
You may want to check if some other software is interfering with plugin execution (e.g. antivirus, firewall blocking the plugin process, etc.)

Yes this is known. Google Earth relies on a specific texture format to actually draw stuff ON the globe - the rest works. I don't know which format is used, and nobody has been kind enough to tell me, so I can't implement what I don't know :P

I'm unable to even download the plugin. The button that says "Download the Google Earth Plugin" shows up and the mouse changes when it hovers over the button but it's totally unresponsive when I click on it. If I right click and choose copy link location I get the following:
javascript:installStub();window.google.earth.installViaStub();void(0);

My java plugin appears to be up-to-date so I'm not sure what's wrong.
