Google search does not display properly
Having used Firefox with Google Search for years I am dismayed to find that the combination is no longer working properly and I am increasingly having to use Google Chrome instead.
A basic Google Search comes up in the window but the options I used to have such as - maps, images, UK pages only - do not show on it. This seems to have happened in Firefox 11 and 12.

hello, how are you accessing the google search - via the firefox default homepage or the search bar or directly by navigating to google.com? and how is the starwebsearch[dot]com, that you have named as affected page, playing into the issue ...?

You need to use google.co.uk site if you want to see a link with Pages from UK on the results page.
Do you still have the en-GB Firefox version installed?
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
- Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Look here for additional Google search engines:
Thank you both - it was a case of several Google Search engines, I was using the one that showed on the tool bar. I have now found another Google Search in the engines listed which give me what I want.
To all that have been frustrated I have found a solution on my own after trying everything on previous post. It was very simply. Search for Mozilla in your c drive or whatever drive you installed Mozilla. Find the folder where mozilla was installed open it, look for the folder defaults and open it, delete everything in this folder. Make sure you also empty your recycle bin. And it worked without any problems to Mozilla. Hope this helps.
