How can I get rid of Google SafeSearch

Hello. I have my Google SafeSearch off in my account. But every time I search something in searchbox I receive SafeSearch active and in Hebrew language. When I go to SafeSearch preferences and change it to OFF and English it helps only for this specific tab. Next search in new tab will look exactly the same: SafeSearch on and Hebrew. How can I rid of it. This SafeSearch driving me crazy! Thanks a lot. Alexander

Are you talking about the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar?

I don't know if the SafeSEarch setting is applied to searches via that bar.

Thanks. But this way works only for specific tab. In a new tab will be the same story.
