When I perform a search using Firefox Browser/Google Engine, I only want one page of searches. As I scroll down, FF is now automatically loading the 2nd page?

When I perform a search using Firefox Browser/Google Engine, I only want one page of searches. As I scroll down, Firefox is now automatically loading the second, third page, etc., as a scroll down. How do I stop this?

Could you give the address of the search results page where you get "endless loading"? It's not normal for the standard Google search engine plugin that comes with Firefox, but you might have a different plugin.

Some add-ons have this feature, including those with names similar to "autopager" and probably many others. You might review your active extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. I suggest disabling any you don't remember installing. Those with Options buttons could be worth exploring to see whether this is a feature you could turn off.

HI

I believe this is a behaviour of the web page that you are viewing, rather than a feature of the Firefox web browser.

You were right. It was the betterFox add-on that did this. Auto-Loads the next page of searches. I like to do this manually.

Thanks again..... jscher2000
