Hi,

I have a problem using google with firefox.

1st, within a week ago, i started to realize google search results tittle are displayed with underline, like google a couple years ago. When i go to google.com and do a search, it's fine, no underline.

You can see the picture with side by side comparison here: http://imgur.com/ErJ1KZ5

--- 2nd, i kept getting prompt to download a file "f.txt" by firefox when searching in google, when typing in the search bar and google predict is on (sorry i dont remember the name, but the function to automatically search and show result for whatever you are typing w/o the need to press enter".

well, this is awkward, it's not happening anymore for me to take a picture and open the content of that f.txt anymore. The content basically are a bunch of codes, html code, i guess... It just prompt to download, and stop showing result, if i cancel the download, and continue to search, it would just prompt to download again, have to reload the page to fix it.

This happened with chrome, also ... ... ...

Thanks for your help.

Hello, What version are you using?

Are you using any extensions that send special opt-out cookies?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

If you are using an add-on that changes how a web page is displayed, that might be the issue.
