Blank popup in safari after google search

Can someone tell me why I get this popoup everytime I submit a search via the built-in google search field in Safari?
And, more importantly, how I can I get rid of it?
This started happenning not long after the upgrade to Lion.
Thanks!

My girlfriend's computer is having the same issue.  We tried those steps last night, to no avail.  She is generally a safe and savy internet user, and never downloads files.
A temporary fix has been to use the Safari Block Pop-Ups option, but obviously the concern is that whatever is causing this is still running, even if we can't see it.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.  When I get home this evening I will edit in full details of her system.

  • Safari's Google-search bar in Dutch ***?!?!

    I have a Macbook pro, Lion all up tp date, and recently I discovered that when I use Safari's google search bar it uses the Dutch google (i.e. goole.nl). I haven't changed any settings.
    I am in China atm, but have a UK VPN and even when I've just been connected to the Chinese server in the past, I haven't ha any problems.
    I did a software update earlier (it was regarding security) and I think it somehow changed a setting. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Ok I think I figured it out myself... no need to answer

  • I just installed ios8 on my ipad3 and now I can't exit out of the last search using Safari and Google search

    I Installed ios8 then iOS 8.02 on iPad 3. Now when I use Safari and Google search I can't exit out of the last site visited. It seems that all the sites are saved. Help. When I go to use Safari the next time the last site visited is always there. I want to be able exit those sites every time exit from Safari

    Safari works a little differently in that respect on iOS 8 on the iPad than it did before. To exit the last site used, tap the icon that looks like 2 overlapping pages at the top right of the screen and then tap the x at the top left of the smaller display that appears.

  • Problems with History after Google search in Safari

    I've noticed recently that after I have searched on Google, any page that I have found linked in the Google search and visited only appears in my Safari History as a Google referal link, e.g.:
    http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=apple%20compressor%20mkv&source=web&cd= 1&ved=0CD0QrAIoAjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscussions.apple.com%2Fthread%2F3001472%3 Fstart%3D0%26tstart%3D0&ei=McjRUJKBBYLC0QWQ1oCQAg&usg=AFQjCNFRmEQy2X9rGesiSE4WXE u4CsYgcw&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.d2k
    So, in actual fact, if I am looking for the page using keywords in my URL/Search bar, the page does not appear as a suggestion under Bookmarks and History - which is a bit annoying because I then have to repeat the Google search and try to identify the link from the results.
    Is this a 'feature' or is there something I can do to revert to Safari's previous behaviour?

    Just for clarification, this is what my History looks like after I have Googled the word 'spoon' and then clicked on the first ten links and opened the pages.
    Unusually, there is one item in this instance (the MySpace URL) which has not done what I described but as can be seen, the rest have.

  • Safari and google search

    Hi Guys
    I have strange problem with searching google with Safari.
    Try to search any thing you want, I will call it "Search string 1" and feel free to click on any link then go back to the your google search page either by pressing back button or the gesture. Now try to do the same thing with another search criteria which I call it "Search String 2".
    NOW here is the problem:
    When you click on any result for "Search string 2" and go back to your google search page, you will see the  "Search string 1" in the google search textbox BUT the results are for "Search string 2".
    Very wired.
    any idea??
    Thank you

    That's nice my post helps resolving your problem.
    How is... actually I don't know exactly.
    But we (I mean Japanese) always have got problem with functions which automatically do something during typing.
    We always need change word from how I type to how I want by IME(Input Method Editor) because we have 3 different type of characters.
    (see this Youtube if you have a time, maybe you could imagine what I talk about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYVKT-TWB8A)
    So that kind of functions are really difficult to apply for Japanese services.
    And I have experience trying early beta of Google Instant Search, and remember that behavior was awful for Japanese. (now much better)
    Then I've got this problem, that idea suddenly crossed me which the cause of problem might be Google Instant Search, JavaScript for the search might be cause something bad for BACK operation.
    Just like that.

  • Force Safari's Google Search to use IPv6

    Does anyone know how to force the Google Search that is built in to Safari to go to
    http://ipv6.google.com
    instead of
    http://www.google.com
    Note: Glims has lots of features but it doesn't provide a way to modify the Google URL.

    Note: Glims has lots of features but it doesn't provide a way to modify the Google URL.
    Does something stop you from creating a new one as described at http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine ?
    or I see, you maybe want to default google one to go there, rather than creating a new search option which of course can be pointed anywhere. It is possible to modify strings inside the safari app & change that. I'm sure Klaus here has linked to it before.

  • Firefox beta freezes after google search, trying to reach clients1.google. How can I solve this?

    After Firefox freezes I can close it. But than I can't open Firefox, have to restart, afterwhich I can run Firefox. Doing an google search creates the same problem over and over.
    can't reach clients1.google.nl

    This is how it looks. Can't do anything with Firefox (for instance: can't go to other tabs or click on any links).
    Left below it is waiting on (= wachten op) clients1.google.nl

  • IOS6 Magnifier Missing in Safari using Google Search engine

    Seems that i have lost the ability to move and place the cursor with or without the magnifier in the google home search box, when using google in Safari.  I can no longer get a magnifier to appear nor move cursor to middle of word to fix a typo.  This happend after IOS6. Anyone else?

    Hi I'm experiencing the exact same issue and joined up this forum only today just so I can reply - I have never felt the need to before and this is what the current ios6 issues have pushed me to do! Apple please act on the known issues ASAP and restore your customer's confidance!
    Rant over - so yes what I have found is that the top box doesn't work BUT the alternative 2nd search box at the BOTTOM works fine - I'm able to magnify, drag cursor and highlight as per usual
    So seems apple can't even be consistent in their issue causing updates!!
    @Apple support - please can someone reply and update us on this?

  • I set the Link Colours, (so I can easily see what URL's I have visited after Google search" but it doesn't respond.

    After a google (etc) search, instead of the colours I set (in tools\options\content\colours) do not show. If I set a visited website to show yellow (e.g.), it just shows the regular blue (no different from the "unvisited" sites.
    There was a time when, regardless of my settings, the visited sites would show a slightly different colour blue - not so now.
    I have Windows XP Pro SP2

  • How can I turn off Safari's Google search auto complete off ?

    I do know if I am using the right word, so I will post the picture
    When you type something in the search bar, Google will automatically complete it for you. It's very annoying to me, how can I turn it off?

    Go to Safari in the menu bar/Preferences/Privacy last check box, Smart Search Field, Prevent search engine from providing suggestions.

  • Red blue yellow lines in safari under Google search links

    when I look up something on Google under each link I see red yellow blue colors in safari it's really annoying how do I turn it off

    It's hard to tell without a screenshot, but this may be font substitution by a bad font. If you have added fonts to your system with a CYR or SLAV in their name, try removing them.

  • My Mac Book Pro has become slow on Facebook and continuously gets popups on safari after updating to mavericks

    My Mac book was running perfectly fine before I updated to mavericks and now I get flashy "you won" popups and others that slide across my screen. I have pop up blocker on and have continuously restarted my safari and cleared it. Nothing seems to work I think I have a virus. Please help!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Blank popup is displayed after popup is displayed

    Hi,
    Am calling an application from a link in another application. Both the applications are in the same component. The application that is being called is being displayed in an IFRAME and am just opening the view containing the IFRAME in a popup. The problem am facing is whenever am opening some popup in the popup (application 2) there is some other blank window named SAP Popup Window. Am not sure how to attach that screen shot here but anyone has any idea how to eliminate this.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Kiran.

    So you are running another WD Component/Application within an iFrame of a parent WD Application?  This is not a recommended or supported appraoch.  You should not use iFrames to intgrate WD Components.  Instead use Component Usages to embed the component within another component (use the ALV as an example).
