Searching with Google fails

When I navigate to the google frontpage, I am able to search normally. For example, searching "firefox" bring me to: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=firefox&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=99700e3379e1c1b1

There are several problems which occur. First of all, the title of the page is not "firefox - Google Search", but rather the entire URL. Secondly, and most importantly, the search functionality fails completely. When I try to search for something else the URL changes but firefox remains on the same page.

URL of affected sites

http://google.com

I have the same problem.

Once I have searched from the google homepage, I cannot then search again from the results page. What is more, the links to results pages 2,3,4,5 etc. do not work properly. When I click them, the URL in the location bar does update, but the page itself does not. Hitting refresh does update the page properly.

I'm not sure if it is Google or firefox. FF3.6, FF3.6.4, and FF3.6.6 all fail in the same way for me. This behavior just started in the last day or so.

Your Google searches will work if you don't let Google use Javascript. The most practical way to implement this workaround is with the NoScript add-on, available from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 - just allow the sites you trust (good security practice anyway), but DO NOT allow google.com. This will allow your google searches to work while they fix this bug.

It's Google, they broke something. Same problem on all versions of Firefox on all operating systems, apparently, see the other thread in this forum:

Workarounds:

1) Reload the page (CTRL-R) after submitting the new search terms (ugh) 2) Use HTTPS (https://www.google.com)

Nothing public from Google yet, although I don't find that at all surprising.
