Strange redirections of Google searches in Firefox
I made the following search from Google
myydään pentax p30n
When I click the third link, pentax p30n säljes - AllaAnnonser www.allaannonser.se/pentax-p30n.html
It shows up correctly for a second or max two (http://www.allaannonser.se/pentax-p30n.html)
After that it is automatically forwarded to the following link, which shows up an empty page:
I can go back in the history to the real page that I searched for, but it redirects again to the empty page.

Google passes such a link through its Safe browsing check and modifies the link to achieve this.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

- Is this only happening in Firefox?
- Have you tried other browsers?
Yes, I have tried. That did not solve my problem if I am still going to use Firefox - which I would like to because of its extensions. But as a workaround I can of course switch to other browser when this happens - the link that I mentioned is not the only one, it happens now and then but not always. With Chrome it goes to www.allaannonser.se/pentax-p30n.html and stays there without the strange rediectionWith Safari, this link does not show up in the searches at all but if I paste www.allaannonser.se/pentax-p30n.html to the URL field, it is NOT redirected as in Firefox. Note that the redirection happens in Firefox also if I just paste the link to the URL field.
Firefox seems to have some strange problems with referrers. Which rarely can possibly make a real trouble, but this may interfere with any "too smart for its own good" site.
Try some redirect-removing addons.
