</p><p>I can't find any information online about CHROME having the problem, so I finally broke down and am looking in the Mozilla support. Let's face it man, you guys have excellent support anyway. Google support is a joke.
</p><p>My javascript is DISABLED and has been pretty much for months, so I don't think that's it.
</p><p>I also checked that link from cor-el, and some examples of having to hit send again before the results will show are the same and similar, but in my case usually hitting send results in NOTHING. No reload at all. It doesn't matter how many times I hit it, I can hit the reload button and nothing happens. It just dies.
</p><p>IF I enter a new search IF it does anything at all, it will simply show the results from the old search a second time, the new search parameters won't show up in the URL line.
</p><p>Unfortunately there is no about:config on CHROME so I can't find that DOM.STORAGE.
</p><p>I just wanted you all to know how much I appreciate the fact that you are at least talking about it. CHROME doesn't seem to want to admit there is a problem.
</p><p>ALSO it all started right about the time they rolled out the 'similar results' function, a completely worthless addition and time wasting function that nobody likes or wants. I guess they wouldn't dare admit it might be causing problems with the searches in their own browser!!
</p><p>THANKS&nbsp;!

Thanks and best wishes to you and your family too.
</p><p>HTTP pipelining is one of the things that can have adverse effects if a server doesn't support this feature properly.<br>
If it does support it then it may work.<br>
Those tweaks aren't really needed and what you gain may slow down access for others (a server can only handle a maximum amount of traffic).

</p><p>And yes, I tried removing cookies. And now also tried the DOM false/true switch. Will see if that makes things better in the coming week. But I'm very interested in why FasterFox Lite makes things even worse.

It started very recently. Going to safe mode doesn't help. dom storage is enabled.
</p><p>If I do a search in the search field at the top of the google page, or I try to go to the next page in the search results, the page doesn't load. I only see the same page, with the previous results grayed out.
</p><p>A quick workaround is to a) allow the google cookie (not an option for me, because I don't want to be tracked), or b) turn off javascript. I used the "yes script" addon to turn it off just for google.
</p><p>Hopefully this can be fixed. It works fine in Safari with cookies blocked and javascript on.
