How to block Google "Come here often window" when using google search
Is there a way to block this annoying window that appears when using Google as a search engine short of changing search engines or allowing cookies from google.com to remain after closing the browser?
FF42 using google as the default search engine. FF keeps cookies until I close the browser.
I thought the checkbox within "Filter preferences" allow some non-intrusive advertising in Adblock plus would do it and it did seem to work for a short while.
Thanks in advance.

If you do not want to keep the cookie, you could try the companion extension to Adblock Plus, Element Hiding Helper (I haven't tried it myself):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/elemhidehelper/
Whether you use that, or Remove it Permanently, or another approach, the trick is to remove just the unwanted message, and not the application "cube".
If you need specific selectors, we could take a look. Which page has the unwanted message?

Thanks for quick reply. I've tried that extension; it does not remove the message which occurs after any search.
Screen capture below.
I'll have a look at the link in your reply.
Browsing from a private window seems to work OK. No unwanted messages from google.
I don't use Element Hiding Helper, so I don't know how exactly to train it what you want to hide, but at least in theory, it can do it.
