Whenever i am clicking search result from Google search bar, it always opens the Google home page. I can only open search result in new tab by double clicking. It started when i installed Firefox 12.

Chosen solution

Disabled all extensions and enabled each one by one. Every time had to restart the browser. After disabling the extension "Indian Rail Info Firefox App 4.78" the problem solved. It was working with previous versions of Firefox but problem came with installing Firefox 12. Anyway, Many many Thanks.

@mstm, please ensure that you write some thing in search bar before you click search icon. without entering anything will redirect to google.com. And make sure that you are clicking on search icon not home icon.

Are you talking about the searchbar (which has other search engines beyond just Google) or a Google search bar installed as an extension?


Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:
