891 firewall - Can't click Google search results

Just setting up and testing a Cisco 891-K9 router. Used CCP for basic setup, figure I'll tweak any settings needed later.
For the firewall, I chose the default "medium" security setting in CCP, then added some holes (already setup in NAT) for outside access in.
Now on to the real question:
I noticed that I am now unable to click through google search results. On any borwser. Clicking on any search result simply loops back around to the same google search page. If I disable Javascript on the browser, everything works as expected. So it appears that the firewall is preventing something in google's scripts from redirecting and "clicking through" to the final destination page.
I'm familiar with our old Pix firewall commands, but still a relative newcomer to the zone based firewall and commands for this new 891, so any help would be appreciated! (relevant Config pasted below) (Gi0 is the WAN interface)

Sorry to reply to myself, but looks like I found the culprit. It appears it was the following section:

class type inspect http ccp-http-blockparam
log
reset
Allowing this section (instead of resettting) corrected the issue. I'll leave the further analysis to those more qualified, but I feel I have to ask... What risks am I opening by allowing this through?
Thanks!

Can't read Google search results page - no zoom

You're wrong and I'll tell you why. All handset companies like Palm have relations with Google, i.e. they have to work together to create a local Google Maps program.
But the big reason why you are wrong is Palm made this device a web based phone and from the get go made all aspects of the phone able to sync to all things Google. Google has no obligation to do anything for WebOS users but Palm does and should use their relationship with Google to make sure things work for us or provide a solution of their own.

Clicking Google search results in a frame gives blank screen

The back story to this is that i use Firefox and I use a simple frames home page where my fave links(ebay,craigslist links mainly) are on the left frame of the screen and google opens up on the right frame. When I do a search with google it does what it does and gives me its search results. Normally when i click on one of the Google results the frame on the left stays and the right side goes to the link i clicked on. Not today though. All I get is a blank screen and Done in the status bar. The left frame is still there. This occurs on 2 computers. IE does not have a problem. Is it Google? Firefox? Or a combo of both?
Here's the code for my main frames page. I dont need to include the 2nd one.

As of this morning, I am being redirected to uk.gomeo when i click on google search results in Safari. Do I have a virus?

Hi,
First time poster and very non-techy person here. I am being redirected to urls starting "uk.gomeo..." when clicking on Google search results in Safari. Quick search on this seems to suggest I have a virus. Not sure what to do or how to get rid of it. Not sure what could have caused it either. Downloaded Acrobat update couple of days ago which took hours, and Twitter account was hacked about a week ago. All software updates up to date. Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry editing that way doesn't work anymore in Lion. But you can look and see if there are any google entries in it. If there are not any google entries you can ignore my posts. If there are try this:
Open terminal
sudo nano /etc/hosts
When prompted for the sudo password - The correct password is your own (the password of the user logged into OS X, also the password you provide when doing system updates and so on).
now you can delete the line(s) that contain google and save.
Using your arrow keys go to the line containing google. Delete the line. Do the same for all lines containig google.
if you have a problem deleting, do a control-x to exit, and reply n to the modified buffer question. To save your changes do a control-o and hit enter , then do a control-x to quit.
Note: normally you never edit the hosts file, but if you see google entries in it then a malware programs has added them. It has been happening with a bogus flash update, that installs flash and asks for your system password. SOmething that seem quite normal when installing software. This bogus flash update makes the hosts modifications adding their own IP adrress for google.

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref. 
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar. 
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.

Google search results won't open in a new window

I like to have Google search results open in a new tab and, until recently, using Google's settings allowed me to do that. But now if I click a lik in search results, it opens the page in the same window. In other words, FF "refuses" to obey Google's preferences.

Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
"Open search results in a new browser window"
I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
Does it make any difference?

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Cannot open Google search results in tab\same window\new window

Google search results are not opening in the new tab\same window\new window. 
It is happening only in Firefox, Internet explorer. It is working fine in chrome. 
I have tried many solutions like 
1. cleared cache, history,everything from browser's, still no result. 
2. opened in safe mode, no result. 
3. unchecked hardware acceleration, still no result. 
4. Other search engines it is working fine, only problem with Google search engine. 
5. Tried changing my DNS (Google open DNS, others), no result. 
6. Checked with antivirus blocking, nothing is blocking. 
7. Reinstalled browsers(Firefox, explorer) no result. 
8. Tried with different versions of browsers, including the latest updates ( Firefox,explorer), no result. 
9. while disabling Java in about:config it is working in Firefox. 
Please help me on this issue. 
Thanks in advance.

Google normally routs the result link to their safe browsing testing service via an onmousedown event that modifies the link (href attribute) if you click it once.
You can check if this bookmarklet makes a difference:
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('#search a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Resize Google search results

Why can't I resize google search results in safari?
Doesn't matter if it's search results or even google.com/news
I can't resize the results. I can zoom in on the links when I click them, but the results are too small for me to read. Same problem with facebook
BTW .. fwiw, it it works on the G1

You can't resize the search results because Google optimized the pages for iPhone. That means that Google automatically senses that you're visiting the page from iPhone and automatically resizes the page.
But it is not happening every time. Sometimes Google give you an big page which is resizable but nowadays the resized pages are more common.

Google search results link back to Google's front page

My Firefox 9.01 under Ubuntu Linux 10.04 seems to have a problem with the links in the results (hits) from Google. When I click on a link, I am directed to Google's front page.
Example:
I enter the search phrase 'occupy wall street demands' into Google Search. One of the hits I get is Wikipedia's entry on Occupy Wall Street. The URL is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street
When I click on this hit, I come to a page with this URL:
http://www.google.com/webhp?emsg=NCSR&noj=1&ei=oAosT9jsCcL64QS2xLCrDg
which shows Google's front page.
However, if I right click on the link ans select "Open link in new window", then Firefox correctly opens the new window with the Wikipedia article.
Other browser on my computer does not have the same problem. I have also emptied Firefox's cache and it did not solve the problem.
What's going on here?

I noticed this happens less often (or not at all, maybe) when you are not logged in with your Google account. Are you logged in to Google, or maybe Google+ even?
When I'm logged in to Google+ and click a search result after using the searchbar in Firefox, I get to see the Google homepage. Clicking the Back button brings me to the page I visited before using the search bar, not back to the search results.
It's definitely an annoying workaround to log out just to be able to click search results, but it could help isolating the problem.
Also, you can open the search results by middle-clicking them and opening them in a new link. Not a solution either, but less annoying than restarting the browser. ;)

I just want to block a website from opening itself when I try to open any google search results, what do I do?!?!?

Intermittently some "Marketplace.com" "net shoppers.com" website will open it's results when I try and click on any Google search result!!! arrggg!
how do I block the dang site from doing what it's doing?

I see google search results, scroll down and they vanish. Why?

All of a sudden when I am using Firefox I get a list of Google search results, scroll down and poof I see only a blank page. What's going on?

Hello jpachner,
Does this happen only in Google or have you noticed it any other web pages? Most of these issues could be because of some plugins or configuration changes.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, quit the Firefox (not just closing the window) and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

Safari 5.0.2 doesn't save any more google search results in the history.

Hello together,
Safari doesn't save any more google search results in the history.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) go to google.com
2.) search for "APPLE"
3.) open the history
Result: the search for "APPLE" is not saved - only the Google mainpage.
This has something to do with the new search string in the Location bar. Safari does not save URL with /#.
For example:
the new string is http://www.google.de/#hl=...
the old one is: http://www.google.de/search?hl=....
The change must something to do with the new Google-Search-Feature. When I deactivate it, then google works with the old string and I found the searches in the history.
The second negative effect is, when you type "apple" into the location bar (after a search), the autocomplete shows the search result, but when you hit enter, you are redirected to the Google-Mainpage.
Very annoying
Can somebody confirm.
Thanks
