The CoolPreview add-on in Firefox is the culprit. Uninstall this add-on from Firefox will solve the problem. and by the way, today is PACman 30'th birthday. I believe it's something related to this issue.

Is it possible that google will damage cool previews image? I think we should stop using google instead of disabling/unistalling cool preview. But that is not possible or are other alternatives - I don´t think so.
