I have had this happen to me twice before, both times were after I did a clean reinstall of windows. But each time after several months of item searching it started showing me pictures and prices Again. What I am talking about is not Google shopping I know how to use Google shopping. I can still go to one of my older computers and when I do a search it will show me pics of the Items along with the best prices that I can get anywhere on the computer. Can anyone please explain to me how this has happened or how I can make my computer do this again? This is my main computer and I hate having to walk through another room just to do a search for an ad on that I am wanting to purchase.

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

Are you talking about searching your history, a search engine, searching a website . . . . .  ?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
