I had Google toolbar installed before upgrading to v 4; it survived the upgrage, but now re-directs me to their "safe" page and puts me in an endless loop of typing in the distorted letters. If I go to google.com, page comes up, but search function does not work. If I delete all cookies, everything works. Is there a fix for this, or is it a google problem?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

"Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

The issue is not FF or IE, it is that Google has changed something in how they view traffic feeds, and satellite ISPs, in my case, Hughes, are being blocked by Google. There are many Google users who have posted this problem on the Google boards, but Google has done nothing to fix the problem. I switched my search engine to Yahoo, which works fine. Deleting all cookies just to do a quick search is moronic.
