Something weird in Firefox....google search

[gq331]

For some reason, I cannot use the www.google.com in firefox. If I type something in the search bar and hit enter, no results are displayed. I just get the same search page with what I typed in the search bar. If I go to IE and go do the same place and do the same thing, I get a results page. There is something not right and I have done both ad aware and spy bot.....here is my HJT log....but I can't seem to find anything. Has to be some sort of script or something.....please give it a look

anybody?

[Garabed]

This is a bug that FireFox has. Your best bet is to go and download GMail Notifier

http://www.nexgenmedia.net/extensions/ <<<<a FireFox Extension

it will work like a charm. :D

[gq331]

the gmail notifier didn't do anything. I don't understand. When I go to the google website, still nothin!

[gq331]

Aight guys....here goes.....Figured this one out myself.........Firefox, IE, and adsubtract pro do not like each other. if you use IE and adsubtract, you are fine, if you use firefox and adsubtract you are fine, but if you have all 3 together, no good.

Ad subtract uses proxies in order to filter out ads on webpages. That's why you don't see the ads. When you try to extract the data from IE into Firefox, it pulls everything from IE. But the problem is with AdSubtract. The proxie port continuously changes for the local host and then when you are using IE or firefox, it may cause them to work improperly. If you change the connections and alter your settings to directly connect to the internet for firefox, you are fine.

But I warn you to be very careful when playing around with these settings. You may hurt yourself because if you are not aware of what is going on in your system, you'll screw yourself and may not be able to connect to the internet.

As for my problem, AdSubtract thought the results page from a google search was a pop/ad. So what I did was I told Firefox to directly connect to the internet with out using the proxie. And everything was fine. Hope this helps someone.
