When I do a Google search on Firefox I get this message: body#gsr.srp.tbo.vasq
This just started. The message appears briefly while the whole results page is colored blue. After the blue and the message clear, the page behaves normally. I'm using the latest version of Firefox for Win 7 Home Premium. I have a screenshot I will upload if you tell me how.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Sounds like the display you get when you have the Inspector tool -- one of Firefox's developer tools -- open and you mouse over the body element of the page in the HTML list. (see screenshot) But I can't think of any reason for that to appear on its own.
The problem goes away in safe mode.
See:
Does the Inspector reopen if you close it via its close button?
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

I think I see the Inspector peeking up from the very bottom of the window. Can you click and drag on the top of the bar until it comes into view and then use the x button to close it?
No page inspector visible now but the problem has not recurred since the time I restarted it in safe mode... maybe page inspector got turned on by accident and was turned off by safe mode.
